The Middle Deschutes is back up this week to 453 cfs. This is a bit high for my taste and I only recommend it to people who know the river and take the safety of the river into consideration while fishing. In a week or so, the canals will open and the river will again draw back down. It appears last week was a temporary canal run which diverted water for a few days, but not a permanent seasonal withdrawal yet.
March Browns are the most important afternoon hatch, Pale Evening Duns and Tan Caddis later afternoon and evening.
Wading the edges or fishing the rocky areas from shore can offer good nymph or streamer fishing.
