October.

The begining of the end for summer steelhead fishing on the Deschutes.  With no sled closure dates, one day runs into another and then it's over.  We will see fewer anglers, bigger fish and colder weather.  Enjoy it, July is a long ways away.  Here's to a new thread for thirty days.

September...

Arguably the toughest month...  Arguably the best month...

I'll let you judge, we're on the board, stay tuned.

And we're off and running!

Our first official "Sled Camp" sets up Monday morning and we can't wait to get reacquainted with our friends from last season.  We are completely booked through August and September but there are still some open dates in October.  

I never really watch the dam counts I just go fishing and it's been pretty good, pretty consistent.  This post is an add on post, which means I'm just going to add pictures for August...stay tuned.

Have a good summer.

We want Heavy Metal!

We ran our last Trout Trip for 2014 yesterday and it was fair to middlin.  With recent weather the river took a bump from 4000 cfs to 4600 and the fish were pretty much put down.  We managed a few and here is one of the nicer ones.  Almost all of the action came fishing caddis flies size 16 on top.  Trout fishing will remain good up in the day stretch until the July heat kicks in, but for us it's Steelhead Season unitl next May.

Stay tuned for steelhead reports, we start fishing end of this week.  BTW, still have some open dates in July at 20% off.
