Upper Deschutes Updates

The Upper Deschutes from Little Lava to Crane Prairie is probably one you want to skip for a few more days. I am not entirely able to tell if it is even open from the USFS Deschutes National Forest Website. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1203653.pdf
If you can decipher this, you’re amazing.
I think by this time next week it will all be open and safe to go back.
The Upper Deschutes from Tenino to Bull Bend (Pringle Falls area) was decent on Wednesday with Mike and Skip in the boat, we got some fish up on Hoppers and had a good after lunch session on PMD’s.
There were also trico’s hatching in the morning, BWO’s and Mahogany Duns.
I went into the day with a ton of anticipation and excitement that hatches would be stellar with rain and clouds, and in fairness they were quite good. But the fishing was so-so. We got around 17 or 18 fish to the net, all small browns and rainbows with the biggest around 13 or 14″. The next day with George I had an equal amount of excitement as the weather was looking great for the hatch again. Hatch was less than the day before and for whatever reason the fish were absolutely turned off. We got skunked. Doesn’t happen often and I was bummed for George.
