Upper Deschutes River:

Christmas princes, Mr. Peacock, possie hare's ear, caddis pupae, pine squirrel minnows are hooking fish subsurface. PMD's, & x-caddis are working when the hatches are on.


Fall River:
Fishing continues to be productive on this "fly fishing only" spring creek.

Crooked River: 
Fishing well, get out there!


South Twin Lake:
A great family lake that is usually protected from the wind when other lakes are white-capped.Nice rainbows are being landed on minnow buggers, rufus patterns, damsels, and South Twin Specials.

The fishing is good and getting better...what are you waiting for?

DIAMOND LAKE:
Fishing has been great and continues to be. Try chironomids, damsels and callibaetis.


CRANE PRAIRIE:
The channels are producing big rainbows. Chironomids, damsels and streamers are all catching fish. 
Rufus patterns are working  very well. Be patient & enjoy the view.


UPPER DESCHUTES:
The water level has been low & warm and the fishing has slowed down a bit. Target  the big trout in deep pools, under banks, near springs and inlets to the reservoirs. Cased caddis, caddis pupae, mega princes are productive nymphs. PMD's, and caddis are hatching.


FALL RIVER: 
Lots of beautiful rainbows and some large browns are being landed. 
Rust pine squirrel streamers, Lady Di's are always a good bet.

Lots of trout, a few whitefish.  PMD's are hatching strongly, some BWO's and some caddis.
Also try scuds, zebra midges, frenchies, and exploding baetis.

Fall River 

The Fall is fishing well; lots of big rainbows and healthy browns are being landed. Dries, nymphs, emergers, and streamers are all catching fish. Our new rust pine squirrel streamer is hot!

Upper Deschutes

With the warmer weather, the fishing continues to improve. Big brooks and browns are moving out of the lakes and can be found in deep pools and under banks and deadfall. PMD's, green drakes, and midges are all hatching.  Try hunchback green drake nymphs, sparkle PMD's, possie hare's ear, and pine squirrels.

Crooked River

After a week of consistent flows @ 250 cfs, the Crooked is fishing well. Today the flow coming out of Bowman Dam  decreased to 225 cfs.  Caddis and mayflies are hatching. Try Anato May's, Frenchies, exploding baetis, rainbow warriors, PMD emergers.

Lava Lakes
The angling on both Lava Lake & Little Lava has been good and becoming great. Try chironomids, Scott's damsel, and lake rufus patterns.

Fall River
There are plenty of big rainbows and a few big browns about, but as usual, you'll need to find them to catch them.  Try hunchback PMD's,  Lady Di's, slump busters, & rainbow warriors.


Upper Deschutes
Fishing keeps picking up on the Upper D.! Look for PMD's and some green drakes.
Try possie hare's ear,  exploding baetis, Lady Di's, copper john's & Mr. Peacocks.

Crooked River
The last week has seen a drastic decrease in the flow of the Crooked. Prineville Res. is 100% full. As of today it is running at 300 cfs.  It may take a day or 2 of consistent flows to equal consistent fishing, but...
Try Anato May's, Frenchies, exploding baetis, sow bugs, dirty birds.

Happy fishing!
