Fish Report for 5-23-2024

The Middle Deschutes should see a few great evening sessions over the weekend

5-23-2024
The Fly Fishers Place

The Middle Deschutes should see a few great evening sessions over the weekend and into early next week as the sun set on the 2024 Salmonfly and Goldenstone hatch by mid to late next week. The number are dwindling, but historically I am always amazed how many bugs must be hiding in the rocks and trees and one warm night with some good low light conditions and suddenly they are all over the place for a few more days. Crossing fingers this turns out to be true. 
If not, expect PMD, Pale Evening Dun, Caddis, Yellow Sallies and good nymphing action with your Euro Stick.
