The Lower Deschutes was good again this week for the FFP crew who fished the Warm Springs to Trout Creek area with gusto. Eggs and Leeches and Stonefly nymphs have been the best through here.
Keep in mind the Reservation side of the river is closed until April 22, and the BLM side is open until 12/31 on waters adjacent to the WS Reservation. Maupin area waters remain open all year for trout and certainly show us some good days in the winter.
There have been a smattering of BWO’s on the Lower D too, again in the back eddies like on the Met. keep that in mind if you want to fish a hatch and get a few more on dries before the season ends.
