Its Steelhead time on the Lower Deschutes! As we progress into September, steelhead will soon be spread throughout the whole system of the deschutes river. There have been some reports of people catching steelhead from trout creek to harpem flats. Fishing the lower river from Maupin to the mouth has been pretty consistent. We are starting to get cooler temperatures especially in the mornings and evenings. These tempertaure changes are super helpful for steelhead fishing. Every method can bring you success this time of year. Swinging your tradiontal's and intruder syles have been fishing well. When the sun is high, don't be afraid to try nymphing or swinging with tips in structured riffly water. Like I said its time! Don't miss out on the awesome steelhead fishing the Lower Deschutes has to offer.
