The Upper Deschutes is still closed form Tenino Boat Ramp below Wickiup down to Wyeth and Bull Bend CG’s. The Wickiup fire is doing well thanks to some darn good fire fighting efforts, they kept it to 168 acres and it is now 75% contained. I would hope to see the Upper D in this area open soon. Lapine State Park to Big Bend, or Big Bend to Besson Camp could be fun floats to do in the drift boat with Hopper fishing starting now and going strong for a long hot summer ahead. 
Last summer and early fall I guided 9 trips up there and for a good angler in the boat that has a good cast with a reach mend and knows how to feed line in to a downstream drift and work a foam hopper along banks and logs, there are some good fish to be had. Add PMD’s and BWO’s and an evening caddis hatch and this should be an area to add to the list for the next 2 months. Also, on this section of the Deschutes you can fish from the boat so this may be a good spot for folks who don’t like to wade to add to their guide trip list soon. Troy, Steve, Tonn and Mattias all know this water and are good guides up on the Bull Bend float.
