Deschutes River Redside Trout & Summer Steelhead Report
————————————————————————————
Deschutes Red Side Trout Report:

Salmon Flies and Golden Stones are done, but the Little Yellow Sally Stones should continue to hatch through July.  The fishing overall has slowed slightly. You will have more success by fishing smaller flies in fast water.

The PMD’s, and PED’s are still hatching. The Green Drakes really didn’t happen this time around. 

The Caddis are hatching in fair numbers. Make sure you’re fishing sizes 16’s to 20’s. in any stage. Larva, pupa and adult. 

The Steelhead smolt have moved down through the river on their way to the Columbia. You will still encounter a few these aggressive lil guys, but for the most part, they’re gone!    

Pattern suggestions: Lil Yellow Sally’s, 16’s, Para PED, 12’s, PMD’s 16’s, Elk hair Caddis, 16’s, 18’s, Hares Ear Soft Hackle, 14’s & 16’s, Prince Nymphs, 10’s and 12’s, Sparkle Soft Hackles, 16’s, 18’s, CDC BH Pheasant tails, 14’s, & 16’s Double bead caddis, 14’s and 16’s. Lightening Bugs, 16’s, Rainbow Warriors, 18’s & 20’s.

We will show you some other new patterns that have just arrived that we think will help change the minds of some of those stubborn red side trout.

River level is 4,230 CFS and the water temperature is 56 degrees.

I encourage you to click on “Monthly Hatch Chart” to see what you can expect during this month. Its also a great way to get a sneak preview of hatches in the months ahead.
