Lower Deschutes at Maupin is good, drive up the Harpham area or Locked Gate and hike form there, or drive down towards Mack’s Canyon and road fish some really good water. Look for the fish in riffles and runs, and this time of year to be fond of Black and Golden Stonefly Nymphs, Green Rock Worms, Hares Ear, Copper John, Soft Hackle PT, Perdigons, Berry’s PCP, Mini Gulp, Soccer Mom and add some Tan Prairie Dog Pupa as the spring caddis hatches are increasing in importance as days get warmer and longer.
March Brown #14 and BWO #18 are going to the be the 2 most important hatches you should see after noon and before evening, and usually the grey, rainy days don’t squash the mayflies form hatching like they might the caddis.
