Upper Deschutes River Steelhead Report

Warm Springs to Maupin

Fish have started moving up the river in good numbers of late! Reports of good catches
have been heard in the South Junction area, between Trout Creek and Wiskey Dick on the camp stretch. And even in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek stretch where we saw two steelhead hooked
on our last day trip.

Reports of good numbers of healthy wild fish are in as well.. seems the wild fish are better at surviving the less than ideal ocean conditions and the gauntlet run through the Columbia! Who would guess that?

The fishing closure on the Columbia has to have helped the fishing on the river as well. As more fish have most likely made it into the river with no fishing going on on the Columbia. As a result steelhead fishing has been better than the doom and gloom and pour fishing forecasted early in the season because of low fish counts at the dams.

The remainder of this month and even November should be really good in the upper sections of the Deschutes, as the fish continue to congregate and stack up in the upper sections of the river.

The Warm Springs side of the river (Below Dry Creek) closes at the end of October.  And the whole river bordering the reservation closes at the end of December. There will be anglers fishing all the way up to the end of the year!

We still have availability for day trips this month and into November! We will typically run trips into November each season, weather permitting. Our last trip was November 11th last year. The last couple of seasons saw some pretty mild weather in the bringing of November.

Shears Falls fish counts are a good barometer of when and how many fish are moving into the upper river. It's guesstimated that as many fish go over the falls than through the trap so double those numbers for an idea on total fish counts.

Note: Really cool to see how many wild Coho are returning to the river. Don't be surprised if you hook into one while fishing this Fall!
