The Lower Deschutes is seeing some really good summer caddis emergences, also PMD’s and Pale Evening Duns throughout the day, especially towards evening. Purple Haze and Fin Fetcher Caddis are 2 shop fave’s. Yellow Parachutes and Sparkle Duns, X Caddis and little CDC flies are pretty hot at times.
Nymphing is excellent. Caddis Pupa, Perdigons, PT Soft Hackle, Red Copper John, 2 Bit’s, Micro PMD, Frenchie are all good.
Swinging leeches and sculpins has been producing some good trout too. A 3 to 5 weight trout spey rod is the tool for that.
