MARCH TROUT FISHING

With the mild weather this week and overcast days it is perfect weather for some dryfly action on the Deschutes River. The Blue wing olive hatch starts around noon to 1:00 pm and ends about 3:00pm.
My best combination to use during the hatch is a parachute Blue Winged Olive in size #16 or 18

with a Baetis Emerger dropper size #18 fished just below the surface.

The Hatch will get better through March and also change to bigger Mayflies like March Browns.
