The Lower Deschutes is open down in the Maupin area and is best from Locked Gate area down to Maupin and of course there is some good water from Maupin to Mack’s Canyon but I always worry the White River is flowing so cold that the better trout fishing is above the White.

Stonefly nymphs, perdigons, PT, 2 Bit, Hares Ear, Walts Worm, Green Rock Worm, Leeches and Sculpins. One of these days soon enough some mayflies will start to pop in the afternoon and March Browns will be premier hatch to hit. It should not be too long before this happens!
