u/-Puddintane-

Saw this myself on Sunday and spoke to people who had been there all weekend…but…Caddis are hatching with a fury but the fish aren’t interested! I got skunked Sunday morning and headed back the Deschutes. I spoke to some campers who had been fishing all weekend and they said the only fish they caught were on size 22 zebra midges…the fish took nothing Caddis shaped below or on top of the water!

The bugs are there, but it seems like the fish aren’t keyed in on them yet. Had a good 27 fish day Saturday floating Warm Springs-Trout Creek and 26 were caught in this Spanish Bullet dropper…fished Sunday in Maupin, same story! More risers though, but it looked like they were taking Mayflies…no big fish all weekend sadly!

Got “Smooth Sailing”, but “Rough Waters” eluded me…for now!
