The Upper Deschutes Below Wickiup was a surprise this week with some decent reports of fishing. Water is coming out of Wickiup cooler than I thought and fish are active, mostly on nymphs, with some morning and evening dry flies of Caddis and PMD’s. 
The Upper Deschutes between Wickiup and Crane is too warm! Seriously, don’t fish here. 
The Headwaters section of the Upper Deschutes upstream of Crane to Little Lava is a good place to be on these hot days. A lot of action on Perdigons, Jigs, Jig Streamers and Hopper/Dropper’s. Water is dang cold.
