Catch fish till your arm hurts!!

CADDIS TIME

Well its been a little while since I posted anything been busy guiding the last few weeks.
The river is getting to more of its normal level and the fish are keying on the caddis hatches.
Are best flies were a Tan Elk Hair Dry and either a Silvey's Tan Caddis Pupae #16 or a Silvey's Diving Caddis # 16 for droppers.
Some areas the fish are also keying on Dead or Spent caddis so make sure you have a few of your best low riding caddis to fish to the rises.
There are still some Mayfly hatches mainly PMD's
There will also be alot of Aquatic Moths in the Lower River in the next few weeks, a Cream Colored Elk Hair works great or you can swing a Aquatic Moth pupae in the evening and get some great takes.

DESCHUTES REPORT

Big thunderstorm hit on Wed below Maupin

The Stonefly hatch is still going on around Maupin but after the next warm weather we have it will be over in the Maupin Area. No worries there are plenty of other hatches to keep fishing dries.
Today we had Stoneflies,Green Drakes,PMD,PED,Blue Winged Olives,Caddis all hatching through out the day.
The best action was fishing a #8 Chubby with a Bead Head PMD Nymph for a dropper.
The Water is in great shape, So get out there and catch some of those great Redsides.

DESCHUTES RIVER TROUT REPORT

High Water on the Deschutes

Stoneflies just above Maupin

This week started out with good fishing, catching some nice fish on the big dries.
Late on Monday we had a big thunder storm dump on us and eventually rained enough to bring the
river up where it is tough to find slow enough water to fish.
The Bugs are flying but the water needs to come down some before fishing gets better.

When it gets below 6,000 cfs it should go crazy!

TROUT AND STEELHEAD ON THE DESCHUTES RIVER

July on the Deschutes can be a great time of year, with both trout and steelhead to chase.

The last few trips have been camp trips from Mack's Canyon to Heritage Landing fishing for trout and steelhead.

There are a few steelhead around but with the warmer weather the water temps are rising and making it tougher to catch them.

There has been some great dry fly fishing in the evening with all the caddis hatches.

My best comb for trout have been a #16 Tan Body Elk Hair Caddis with a #16 Silvey's Bead head Caddis Pupa Dropper.

The Weather is key this time of year, if the temps are in the 80's or lower the fishing is good.

If we get temps in the mid 90's or higher fishing becomes tough in the Lower Deschutes with the warm water.

DESCHUTES RIVER REPORT

The Deschutes is back into shape and still fishing great. In the Maupin area there are still a few Golden Stones and yes they are still eating Chubby.

My best flies the last few days have been a Golden Chubby #6 with a Silvey's beadhead Caddis #14 dropper or a Silvey's Diving Caddis#14 dropper.

There has also been some great May fly Hatches, fishing a PMD parachute #16 or a PED soft hackle #12 have also been good producers.

The big Caddis hatches are also starting with the warmer weather, #14 Elk Hair tan body is a good choice.
