The Middle Deschutes is dwindling on the Salmonflies and Goldens, but I believe we have until mid next week to enjoy the last days of fishing big flies. If you miss it, a Purple Haze, Renegade, X Caddis, Corn Fed Caddis, PMD Sparkle Dun, PMD Half Down, Cut Wing Extended Body Pale Evening Dun and nymphs like a Perdigon (brown tones especially) and PT’s, Micro May’s, Soft Hackles and Caddis Pupa will be great. 


Even on a busy holiday weekend there are canyon stretches that are away from the typical access points that you should find solitude on the river this weekend and into next week.
