Current Report
There is trout action
throughout the day. Be
prepared for PMD hatches mid-
day. Midge hatches can also
be important. Nymphing with
may fly nymphs, midge pupa,
caddis larva or stone fly
nymph patterns can be
productive for trout and
whitefish. Small nymphs are
the ticket. Glo Bugs are also
productive.
The above situations are best
covered with a floating fly
line and all patterns are
fished drag free.
Two-Week Fishing Forecast
Water flows in the Deschutes
will be stable. Water
temperatures will warm.
Hatches will become more
prolific. Predictions are
favorable.
Hatch Info
PMD's, PED's, Beatis, Midges,
Aquatic Moths & Caddis
hatches. Yellow Sally
Stoneflies abundent along
parts of the river. Dry fly
fishing has been good.
Hot Fly Patterns
Be sure to print this
list for your maximum
benefit.

Fly-fishing Schools
16-Hour On the Water
Steelhead Fly fishing School
Take a drift boat ride down
the Deschutes River with:
Mark Bachmann, Brian Silvey
and Ron Lauzon.
This is a school that will
cover a lot of water and
fishing knowledge in one day.
Summer Steelhead will bite
any time of day on the
Deschutes River,
however odds go way up during
the low light hours of
morning and evening.
That is why we are starting
very early and are staying
late.
We want to give you maximum
advantage
by having as many fish hooked
during this class as
possible.
Nothing teaches you more
about fishing than being
where
fish are being hooked and
landed.
Emphasis will be on floating
line fishing,
but will also cover sinking
tip fishing during mid-day
periods.
Both single-hand and two-hand
rods will be demonstrated.
Learn how to locate steelhead
water and how to approach it.
Watch an expert guide as he
fishes and discloses the
secrets
and proven methods that put
fish on the beach.
Get a lot of hands on help so
that you too can be
productive.
Save yourself five years of
experimenting on your own.
Bring your own waders & rain
gear. Rods, reels, flies &
tackle are supplied.
A barbequed lunch will be
served on the river.
There will be a long rest
period after lunch.
Cots will be supplied and we
urge that you consider
napping along the river for a
couple of hours to re-charge
your batteries for the
evening fishing and the long
ride home.
Price includes Deschutes
Boaters Pass.
Meet at The Fly Fishing Shop
