If you are going to fish the
Deschutes or Crooked River, Hwy 26 is the most direct
route from Portland to Central Oregon. Here is a good
way to check out the road conditions through the Cascade Mountain
Passes: |

Hatches: The whole lower 100-miles is fishing well. Water clarity
below the mouth of White River can be an issue some days, but for now is
very good. Trout are looking up. Yellow Sallies and Aquatic Moths are available
on most of the river. Caddis hatches are the main course. PMD
hatches steal the show some days. Look for Tan Crane Flies most days. Midge hatches
occur nearly every day. Many days there is
"behavioral drift", which means that many aquatic insects will be migrating
along the bottom and be available to feeding trout. Nymph fishing can be
good all day. Trout and steelhead egg drift can also be
important factors. The above situations are best covered with a floating fly line
and all patterns are fished drag free. Fishing wooly buggers deep on the
swing with a fast sinking tip is also a method that is producing some real
nice trout. Steelhead: Steelhead return is stronger than normal. |

Other Information: The Deschutes is one of the great rivers in the Pacific Northwest. Much of it is open to angling year round. Few rivers in the world can boast as good endemic resident trout populations as the Deschutes. Add in big runs of summer and fall steelhead and you have one of the finest fisheries in the world. |
