The Upper Deschutes is a mosquito Hell now, so go prepared with bug spray and maybe even a head net. Fishing is really quite good. Green Drakes are on the menu this week up in the headwaters area along with PMD’s, Caddis, Yellow Sally’s and Ants and Beetles. Throw in some Clark’s Stones this week even though I think we won’t see the Golden Stone hatch for another 10 days or so….
Great nymphing can be had on a Mono-Rig with a euro-nymph (Dark or Light Walts Worm, Various Perdigons) or small streamer. You can take a different approach on the streamer with sculpins and work the logs and cut banks swinging the fly into dangerous snags and jigging it along the cut banks.
