The Lower Deschutes is really good again. Our guides and our friends have been doing really well on nymphs for both trout and steelhead.
This week we saw a lot of good action on Caddis Pupa (October and Tan #14-16), PMD Nymphs, Perdigons and Eggs. None of the guides mentioned it, but Stonefly Nymphs (peacock, golden and black) are going to be important for Fall. I like a Red Worm for Steelhead and a Lightning Bug…. If Steelhead are around- and they sure as hell are!- then think about running those nymphs too.
Steelhead are going to a swung fly on a dry line still as any real cold fall weather just hasn’t hit us yet, but it is coming this week. Start adding the skagit and sink tips with intruders and leeches to your game plan.
We have some limited guide days available in October, so it may be tough to get on the schedule as of now. November opens up and we look forward to a lot of great steelhead trips with our guests from now until Thanksgiving or longer. Here is a wonderful photo from yesterday with guide Capt. Drew and 2 very happy guests.
