The Salmonfly Hatch is ON down on the Lower Deschutes. Mix in Golden Stones, Yellow Sally’s, PMD’s, Caddis and Green Drakes and it has high potential for a dry fly bonanza.
We’ve got some open days with 1 or 2 guides coming up over the peak hatch time the next two weeks.
May 13 = 1 guide, 14 = 1, 15 = 1, 17 = 2, 18 = 2, 20 = 1, 22 = 1, 23 = 1, 24 = 1 and 25 = 2
If you need a guide during the big hatch, we have some accommodations for you.
