The Lower Deschutes also has 7 days left (including today) to fish both sides from Dry Creek to Trout Creek, and starting November 1st remember it is just waters that lay east of the main channel. So Warm Springs Boat Ramp, up the highway is all good, Mecca is all good, Trout Creek is all good, but if you’re floating from WS to TC remember that the side belonging to the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs will be closed until 4/22/25.
There are a good number of steelhead in the river all the way up to WS! Lot’s of good catch stories, and a few heartbreaking stories too. Better to have hooked and lost than to never have hooked at all. There is some kind of love metaphor that says something similar. And hey, who doesn’t love Steelhead?
On the Trout side, nymphing and euro streamers has been fabulous. Eggs are also great on the Lower D. Enough in the drift from Salmon that the trout know what to look for. 
Stonefly nymphs, especially the Peacock Girdle Bug with the heavy Tungsten Bead we sell, October Caddis Pupa, Zebra Midges, Micro May’s, 2 Bits, Psycho Prince, Spicy Squirrel with the light pink bead and PCP Nymphs. 
Spey anglers with the goal of steelhead should be set with skagit lines and T8 sink tips and larger leeches and intruders. Warmer days might get fish on a Scandi line and a Green Butt Skunk or Anderson’s Euphoria. 
Looking at the November forecast for the first week or two, I think that we have a lot of good fishing days to look forward to and with that we will keep up our guided trips until it gets too cold to go. But at this point, that doesn’t seem to be happening soon.
