May 27, 2017- If you haven't been on the Deschutes in the last week or so, NOW is the time. Although the stoneflies showed up on time in early May, it took a while for the weather to warm up and get them flying. Last week brought some hot temps to the canyon and put the big bugs into flight mode, which finally stirred up some serious action with the fish. We are finally retiring the bobber rods for a while and even snipping the little dropper flies off of the big dry flies. Down and dirty, bow-and-arrow jungle fishing is the name of the game and we couldn't be more excited. This is when the biggest resident trout of our season show up to play. Give us a call and get down here!

Phase Two of Trip
Mike Boyd
In "Great Trips Volume 1", I mentioned we did a leg on the North Umpqua. That place is magic. I am bais to the Deschutes don't get me wrong, but that place is a must see for all lovers of rivers and especially steelhead. Want a great trip and the full buffet? Do a day ot two down there and then come on over for a couple days on the Deschutes.

So glad to be able to share that place with Thuy and Clay. I think they'll be back to sample some more of it's magic potion. One of the best steelhead wizards over there is Tony Wratney of Summer Run Guide Service. Thanks again Tony. If you are heading over, I highly recommend having him spend a day or half day with you to show you the ropes.

Thuy did a neat clip of some of our trip, enjoy. Thanks again to a great couple rivers, good friends and some steelhead.
