Deschutes River Fly Fishing Report

Salmon Flies and Golden Stones

That’s right, it’s that time of year again. The Stone Fly hatch is already ramping up. The warm weather we’ve been having, has got the big bugs excited and a lot of them are on the move and heading for dry land.

We’ve already seen a few bugs up as far as the Trout Creek area and there are good numbers showing up around Maupin. Some fish are already locked in and gobbling them. But the bulk of the trout aren’t fully keyed in on the Salmon Flies yet. It’s just a matter of time.

It’s still a few weeks before things really go bonkers.
