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.

When the Deschutes was to high to fish in Mid May I did a few Private lake trips

DESCHUTES REPORT

The trout fishing on the Deschutes has been great since the water went down, it went up a little last week but didn't slow the the dryfly action to bad.
There are still a few Golden Stones around and we are still catching fish on the Chubby in the afternoon.
We had great luck on Little Yellow Sally adult #14 with a Bead Head Mayfly Nymphs #16 droppers.
The Caddis are starting to show in Big Numbers so make sure to try some caddis patterns during the day.
On days with some cloud cover we also have had some huge Mayfly hatches (PMD or PED)
We have been fishing the Maupin Area or Below Sherars Falls

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.
