This weekend the staff at Deep Canyon Outfitters decided to for go our annual opening day fishing trip on the Lower Deschutes, and fished Buckhorn Lake and the Middle Deschutes instead. The Lower Deschutes river is NOT fishing very well right now. It is being effected by the Crooked River, which is flow extremely high right now. Despite a relatively light snow pack, run off on the Crooked River is effecting the entire Lower Deschutes system. Look for the lower river to clear in the next week or so.
We found success this weekend at both locations. Buckhorn Lake was by far the best fishing. We didn't have much success catching bass, but the rainbows were easily fooled. The Middle Deschutes was a great adventure. 4 of our staff ventured down stream towards Lake Billy Chinook, while the other 4 ventured upstream from the lake. Everyone caught a few fish on both nymphs and dry flies. The big news is the salmon flies that where spotted. Both groups reported seeing the first few bugs of the 2010 season.
