The Lower Deschutes is closed on all waters on or across from the Warm Springs Reservation. Warm Springs, Mecca, Dry Creek, Trout Creek, South Jct are all closed until 4/22/26
Maupin upstream to the Locked Gate and up by foot from there, and down to Macks Canyon are open, but the water is high and I would recommend skipping this area for a while until things improve. Often January is pretty darn slow anyway, but things will improve in February with the right conditions coming together for us. By March with good water flows it is a must do for Central Oregon.
