The Upper Deschutes from Crane Prairie to Little Lava Lake is a nice get away from the more crowded Fall River conditions. It’s only another 20 minute drive and sure, it is not as easy to fish or to get around as our 2nd favorite spring creek, but there are a lot fewer people competing for the space and the fish. Ants and Beetles, Hippie Stompers, Stimulators, Yellow Sally, #16 Tan Caddis, and PMD’s have been the main dries, and Micro Streamer Jigs and Jig Napoleon’s in Yellow, Browns and Olive are perfect and add the Berry’s PCP which is a little nugget of Peacock Herl that has a Pink Hot Spot for another nymphs to use here. Whitefish, Rainbows and Brook Trout are all enjoyable catches up here.
