Deschutes River, Oregon - Fishing Report - January 09, 2021
The discharges and stream levels are still near normal levels in the upper sections and
in the lower river. We are still getting good reports from customers. Steelhead are being
caught in the lower river.
Stream Conditions:
7 Day Weather Forecast: (Click the box below for more detailed weather information).
Recommended Trout Flies:
Blue-winged Olives, size 18 and 16, nymphs, emergers, duns, spinners
Brown Sculpin, White Belly Sculpin and articulated streamers, size 6
Aquatic Worms, size 12, pink, red, and others.
Winter stoneflies, size 16/18, nymphs and adults
Midges: Blood (Red), sizes 20/22, larva, pupa and adults
Midges: Cream, size 20/22, larva, pupa and adults
Midges: Light Green, size 20/22, larva, pupa and adults
Strategies, Techniques and Tips:
Trout:
Remember, there is a big difference in the lower and upper rivers as far as hatch times
are concerned.
Brown sculpin and White Belly Sculpin are two of the very best flies to use during the
entire year. Articulated streamers work good.
Aquatic worms are working.
Winter stoneflies are hatching.
Various species of Blue-winged olives will hatch mostly on cloudy days.
We still think the best strategy is to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike
indicator with the midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly. Fish
the adult midge only when you observe trout feeding on the surface..
