Our FFP guide team have been enjoying some good days on the Lower Deschutes from Warm Springs to Trout Creek. We had a very good camp season with multiple 3 day/2 night trips to Maupin this season, but for the time being our calendar is filling with a lot of day trips.
During the morning and afternoon it has been most productive with nymphs, and the main dry fly action is coming later in the evening at this time. Our guide Michael did get some dry fly fishing mid day in some eddies, and as summer progresses that typically gets better and better. Think about a lot of spent bugs for that, especially spent caddis.
Throughout the day we recommend tan caddis pupa, frenchie, 2 big hookers, brown perdigons, soft hackle PT, red copper john and PMD split case nymphs. Troy is seeing a lot of good summer (tan) caddis and said water temps are good in the upper 50’s.
In the evening pale evening duns, purple haze, corn fed caddis, iris caddis, x caddis, keller’s caddis and fin fetcher caddis. The fin fetcher is exceptional for being able to see it because if the hot pink parachute post. If you have not tried this caddis dry, add some to your box for every trout stream in the western united states. It combines a proven winner fly, the spent partridge caddis with a parachute post that is easy to see.
There has also been some good action on small streamers like squirrel leeches, mini gulp’s, slum lords and sculpzilla’s.
