The Fly Fishers Place
The Lower Deschutes is fishing really well, most days we see excellent caddis hatches and reports are good for Pale Morning Duns and Pale Evening Duns. The Warm Springs to Trout Creek Drift is our day trip float, and there are nice walk-in access points at Warm Springs, Mecca, Dry Creek (get a tribal license) and Trout Creek.
Nymphing and Swinging streamers and soft hackles is awesome and likely the best ways to catch more fish. Especially the nymph rigs. We’ve been doing great on Euro Jigs and Perdigons, sometimes fishing them on a dry/dropper rig but more often on a traditional euro leader using 25′ of 8# to 1′ of White Sighter .008 to .007(4x) Tri-color or Bi-color sighter usually 36″ to a 2mm tippet ring. Add 6 to 7 feet of 5x fluorocarbon tippet to the ring and a dropper tag 20″ above that point fly and you my friend have the ultimate euro leader.
