Deschutes River - Lower - October 15th 2013

Got another chance to get down to the lower Deschutes and chase some chrome. It was a perfect overcast day with very few anglers around and plenty of water to fish.
It turned out to be one my most productive days on the water in a long time. Unfortunately, it wasn't with steelhead as I only managed to hook one all day. But the trout were totally keyed on the black rabbit leach with an orange head I was swinging on a sink-tip. I probably had close to 20 takes during the day from big fat Redsides that ran 14 to 20 inches and hammered my fly. As a steelheader, there's a jolt of adrenaline that rushes though your body when something hammers your fly making you think you've found the holy grail, the elusive steelhead, only to realize moments later that it's not a steelhead. I had to laugh at myself after hooking the 6th big trout of the day and found myself disappointed and thinking, " Darn, it's only another fat 18 inch Rainbow ". I can remember the day when I would have paid a kings ransom for that many big trout in a day.
It was a great day on the water with lots of action and I can't wait to get out there again, hopefully with more steelhead next time.
