Private Waters Report

Fishing on our private waters has heated up!  The water levels are finally now into summer flows and at good fishable levels.  Fish are active and hitting caddis on the surface and eating sculpins.  New snags and cover from last years flooding are the perfect habitat for big rainbows and this section has plenty of hidey holes. 

The good news is we've already seen hoppers on the water.  Hopper season is almost here! 

Trout Like Steelhead

Deschutes Fishing Report, June 12

I don't mean that trout are "friends" with steelhead, what I am talking about are top conditioned, bully of the school, 20" range trout that fight and battle it out like a steelhead.  Hang on to that five weight!  Right now that type of fish is in his element feeding on his favorite gut stretching morsel of the year- Salmon flies and Golden Stones.  With the hatch full swing and soon to be waning in the upper section of the lower 100 miles of the emerald green waters of the Deschutes these big bullies are packing it on and are in full stuff it mode.
