Well, this is a great time of year on the Deschutes.?? Trout fishing is picking up now that the weather is cooler.?? Steelhead are viable from the Mouth all the way up to Warm Springs.?? Nymphing for trout with a 6 wt is a good idea because you may hook a Steelie and having a little extra "wood" to lay on 'em helps.?? Keep an eye out for Fall hatches.?? Expect water levels to??be higher than normal for the rest of the season.?? TRIBAL WATERS (DRY CREEK TO TROUT CREEK) CLOSE OCT. 31 AND REOPENS IN APRIL 2008 !
