The Lower Deschutes Salmonfly hatch is barely holding on (golden stones too), but if you still want to work the big dries you can as there are some stragglers around the river in the Warm Springs area.
It is a big time Caddis show now, with pupa and emergers and adults responsible for most of the fish we got this week.
Well, caddis and Perdigons and Euro Jigs.
Add some PMD Split Case, 2 Bits Brown, Soft Hackle PT, and Micro May’s PMD.
PMD’s and Pale Evening Duns are hatching pretty well and the PED on warm evenings can be even more important than the caddis for a bit. Bring your Purple Haze #12-14! And Yellow Sparkle Duns #14-16 to overlap the PED’s and PMD’s. So fun for the next 6 to 8 weeks this time of year.
Don’t leave your trout spey at home, it has been a blast on sculpins, leeches and soft hackles.
