The Middle Deschutes has some places to look for good fishing in the next couple of weeks. The water is high until irrigation season begins in mid-April. Some areas are really tough wading in this water level, and other areas are ok.. Skwalas are likely, BWO’s too and the end of the cycle for the Little Black Stones but worth having a Black Elk Hair Caddis and Float-N-Fool for matching the hatch.
On the nymph side go with Girdle Bugs and Brown Perdigons and keep it simple, and add some Slum Lords and Mini Gulp streamers to the box. Bring split shot too, and some indicators because some of the places that is going to be more productive than euro nymphing because of the access.
