I didn’t have anyone on the Upper Deschutes this week. It ought to be great, but one thing to watch is the springs by now are charged up and the water is probably higher now than at opening day. That gets pushier and it is something to watch for less able waders.
If I was going tomorrow I would have my 10’ 3 wt and I would have a bunch of Walts Worms, Rainbow Warriors and Perdigons, a few Euro Jig Streamers and some Caddis, PMD’s, Ant, Beetles and a Clarks Stone.
