Fish Report for 3-25-2023

The Fly Fishers Place

The Lower Deschutes is closed in the Warm Springs/Mecca/Trout Creek/South Junction areas for a little while longer. That opening is fast approaching on April 22nd and we can’t wait to drop a drift boat on the water soon. Until then, we are drifting the Nena to Wapinitia float for guide trips and have the $100 off deal there too. Or you can hit it on your own and access the river from Maupin up to the Locked Gate or Maupin down towards Mack’s Canyon.
Walts Worms, Frenchies, PCP Nymph, Spanish Bullet, Green Rock Worm, PT, Stonefly Nymphs including Girdle Bugs are all good nymphs. Don’t be afraid to go with big beads, even 5 mm and dredge it along the bottom.
I have not heard of many hatches yet, but it is fast approaching March Brown Hatch time on the Lower D in this area.
