The Middle Deschutes is going to see a significant bump in water levels now as the spotted frog water releases are now occurring on the upper river from Wickiup, and without the canals operating the water is going all the way through Bend to Lake Billy Chinook and it changes the game at least from a safety standpoint on the middle river from Tumalo to Steelhead Falls. We are going to see this for a while, and I just tell you this to keep you thinking about safe wading and access on this area of the river. Skwalas, March Browns and BWO’s are the main hatches. Look for tan caddis now too, especially in the evening on the warm days ahead.
