The Lower Deschutes is fishing pretty good for trout on the Warm Springs to Trout Creek drift. Some risers in the eddies, but better fishing on Euro Nymphs Caddis Pupa, 2 Bits, Rainbow Warriors, October Caddis Pupa and large Stonefly Nymphs.
Steelhead are around from WS to the Mouth. If you go, and you’re lucky enough to catch a wild fish, treat it with the utmost respect. Barbless, big net, keep them wet, no out of water photo, don’t touch them with gloves and realize they still have a big journey to complete so fight them fast with equipment that will make the fight fast.
