Deschutes River - Middle
Tip of the week:
Techniques:
Nymphing will remain the most effective method on the Middle Deschutes for most of the year. Dry fly fishing is continuing to improve and there have been good numbers of caddis throughout the stretch.
Seven-day forecast:
Warm weather continues to come our way, bringing more and more bugs and bringing the water into its typical summer shape. The Middle Deschutes should be great this week.
