The Middle Deschutes is also much higher as Wickiup releases have gone from 100 cfs to 400 cfs and without any diversion in to the canals until next week, that flow is rolling through Bend and the river is high all the way down to Lake Billy Chinook. By this time next week, I believe the flows on the Middle will be under 500, maybe even under 400. Today is 721 CFS and that would be awfully challenging access and wading on the Middle D. Yep, there are places to fish, but it won’t be out top recommendation until irrigation diversions begin next week and increase in Mid to Late April.
