The Upper Deschutes Headwaters Stretch is flowing hard and cold and is fishing pretty good for whitefish and some trout. Euro Nymphing is really good. I’ll say again that packing a float tube to the Blue Hole is a fun way to approach a small part of this upper river area. The rest of it is wade fishing but be prepared for tough walking around the banks due to all the down lodgepole pines laying on the ground up there.
