The Lower Deschutes is good

10-8-2023
The Fly Fishers Place

The Lower Deschutes is good and Troy was sharing some great steelhead photos with me from the last few days on the day stretch, and Steve, Tonn and Shad just finished a 3 day trip and found some beautiful wild steelhead on that float too.
Trout fishing is good, not entirely on nymphs but mostly. October Caddis Pupa, Tan #14-16 caddis pupa, BWO and PMD nymphs, Stonefly Nymphs (especially Girdle Bugs) and Eggs are good.
Still some PMD’s and summer caddis around, but waning and moving to Mahogany Duns and BWO’s now.
October through Christmas is going to be a winner for steelheading the D!
