It's a great time with large dry flies.

The Lower Deschutes is our next stop, and with Salmonflies and Goldenstones still on the menu our guide team and lots of our friends have been having a great time with large dry flies. I am pretty confident we will have good feeding action on the big stones the whole week ahead and then it is likely to die out until 2026. What comes next is my favorite anyway, less people, smaller bugs but just classic summer fishing on the Lower D with Caddis, Pale Evening Duns and PMD’s. 
Yellow Sally’s are not to be missed or forgotten now either. 
FFP guides are doing great with Euro Nymphs and Caddis Pupa, Frenchies, Zebra Midges and Walts Worms. This past week we saw an explosion of Black Micro Caddis around the Weed Beds. A tiny Soft Hackle is a good fly to fish dry or wet when those are in emergence.
