    FISHING SUMMARY

    RIVER LEVEL IS CURRENTLY 4,690 cfs (MADRAS)


    Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone for making 2009 a great year, and here's to 2010. It's mid -winter, but before you know it it will be time to chase those beautiful Deschutes Redsides. I can't wait. In the meantime, there is some world class winter steelheading to be had on the coast!

    The Deschutes is closed from Pelton Dam ( Warm Springs) to the Northern Warm Springs Reservation Boundary for trout and steelhead until April 24th. It is open year round from the Northern boundary to the mouth.

    Some steelhead still to be found around Maupin. These fish are only a month or so away from heading up the spawning tributaries. It has been a long trip, it might be time to give them a break. There is plenty of chrome starting to show up on the other side of the mountain to chase.

    Trout will be standard winter action. Stick to nymphing ( Copper Johns, Pheasant Tails, Zebra Midges, Stonefly Nymphs) until or if/when you notice some fish working mid-day blue wing olive or midge hatches. Check eddies and slower flats/seams for dry action.

    We offer winter steelhead trips on the North Umpqua and other select coastal streams (checkout the photo gallery). For more information call or email. Dates are booking fast.

    And for updated Fishing Reports and Monthly Newsletters be sure to join the Deschutes Group email list. We'll keep you posted on all the action that is the Deschutes.

    Hope to see you on the River!

    Tight Lines,


    Mike Boyd
