Deschutes River / Owyhee Fly Fishing Report

DESCHUTES

The Salmon Fly hatch is still cranking on the Deschutes. This is the latest the big bugs have stuck around these parts since the 2009 season. The amazing thing is that they are still here but the bulk of the people are all but gone. We’ve probably got a good week to 10 days left of good dry fly fishing with the salmon.

Next up on the Deschutes is our caddis and mayfly season. If you like head hunting for rising trout in back eddies and slow moving banks this is your time of season.

OWYHEE

We haven’t been able to get over and check out the Owyhee yet, but it is now fishable for the first time in over four months. It had some incredible water levels that ripped through it this winter. If there was ever a year to come check it out this would be the one.
