The Middle Deschutes is back on the report as it seems the Flat Fire that was so concerning last week but I will tell you it is a good weekend to be on the Middle D. Morning to lunch time will have some dry fly options with Purple Haze and PMD’s, then in the evening more PMD’s, BWO’s, and Tan Caddis will hatch from about 5 until dark. 
Swing some soft hackles and try your euro nymphing rigs with perdigons, tan pupa, soft hackle PT jigs and micro mayflies to match PMD and BWO nymphs.
