Upper Deschutes River
The river is closed to fishing above Benham Falls. The cfs today is 517 and continuing to drop.
A great choice for locals during the winter months. Plenty of rainbows and browns...whitefish too.
Black stones, anato mays, Mr. Peacocks, S.Twin Specials, minnow buggers, and possie buggers have been working.
Fall River
This is a perfect time to head to the Fall R.. Look for baetis & midges. Try yellow rufus, pine squirrel minnows, flame eggs, griffith's gnats, and Lady Di's. This fly fishing only spring creek is closed to fishing below the falls.
Crooked River
The water is low (cfs is 115), but the fishing is still good. Nymphing is the most productive approach. Try psycho's, zebra midges, rainbow warriors, and frenchies.

Fall River:
Fall is the best time to fish the Fall...and the fishing has been awesome on this "fly fishing only" spring creek. Lady Di's, TB eggs, pine squirrel minnows, mahagoney mayflies and renegades.
Crooked River:
The flow coming out of Bowman Dam has dropped this week to 155 cfs. Autumn is a perfect time to rip lips on the gorgeous river canyon of the Crooked. Zebra midges, black beauties, black tailwater nymphs are hooking up subsurface....X-caddis, irresistables, mahagoney mayflies are working when the hatch is on.
Upper Deschutes:
Closed from from Lava Lake to Gull Point. Large browns and bows are being landed.
Amber prince nymphs, Mr. Peacocks, anato mays, caddis pupae, pick pockets, slump busters.
South Twin:
With the kids back in school and summer over, this a ideal time to bring a kick boat/float tube to the larger of the "Twins". There's plenty of healthy trout to catch (& release) and virtually no crowds on this beautiful Cascade lake. Try minnow buggers, buttonators and of course, the South Twin Special!
Lakes:
Most lakes close Oct. 31st....year round lakes are open only until the snow falls and the roads close.
Take advantage of the end of the season while you can.
Happy fishing!
