The Lower Deschutes from Warm Springs to Trout Creek and at South Jct have been mostly good, with nice steelhead showing up on a deep drifted nymph or swinging a Leech.
Trout action for the most part is very good on nymphs. Eggs, Black Leeches, Red Copper John, Black Stonefly’s, Golden Stones, Peacock Stones including Girdle Bugs for the aforementioned 3 colors.
Whether you float or walk in, the next week is going to offer another exciting chance of finding steelhead and fat resides.
We are about to wrap up the November special but with the lack of a ski season so far, let’s go ahead and extend it to December 15th. A bunch of our staff had really good days this past week down there.
It looks like we have a bit of a cold, Columbia Basin Fog pattern that can really make the Lower Deschutes cold and colorless when it sinks in. I think it is going to sit here for a few more days too. Wear your thick puffy and bring your mittens and a wool hat.
