The Upper Deschutes, especially talking about the area between Little Lava Lake and Crane Prairie which we refer to as the headwaters stretch is fishing nicely with good catches of rainbows, brookies and whitefish. A lot of the action has come on a dry dropper or euro nymphing a walts worm, perdigon, rainbow warrior, mini gulp or slum lord. Get some conehead sculpins to swing undercuts and logs and you might end up with some really interesting catches. Green Drakes should make an appearance soon, but for now some caddis and PMD’s along with ants and beetles will be good to search the runs and bank lines with.
