The Water Levels on the Lower Deschutes continue to fluctuate down to 5000 cfs and up towards 6000 cfs.
Fishing is good despite this. Salmonflies are all over the place, but the hatch timing really depends on being in the right place at the right time more than ever at this time.
Any day in the next week to 10 days may be the best fishing off the year for big bugs, so it is primed and ready to rock soon.
There are a lot of little Black Caddis #18 hatching now too. Pupas and Dries are going to be important for matching these caddis.
