It’s that time of the year. Opening day for the Lower Deschutes is just
around the corner. The long term forecast is saying that there are some
clouds coming in with a slight chance of rain. If this weather doesn’t change it should really
help get the fishing going good. If we do get some rain, keep your eyes
peeled for some BWO’s, and there’s a chance of some March Browns still
kicking around. If the hatches do show up, it will more than likely be
sometime around the middle of the day. Regardless, it will be great to
get the drift boat out and start fishing the D again.
If the weather stays warm like it has been for the past forever, be ready for the salmon flies to show up even earlier than normal.
Last Saturday, April 25 was the opener for
the Lower D. From then on the entire lower 100 miles of the Deschutes
will be open for trout through October and through the end of the year
for steel.
