Steelhead fishing still remains tough, however, this cold front we are experiencing right now should improve the fishing. The report has been one or two hookups a day. Working hard and covering lots of water has been the name of the game. Swinging and nymphing have been producing fish. Fish are spread throughout the system so anywhere on the Lower D could produce a steelhead. Go give it a shot as October is one of best months to catch steelhead!
Trout fishing has been great on the Lower Deschutes. October caddis are all over during the evenings along with good hatches of Blue Wing Olives throughout the day. Occasional small tan caddis are in the mix as well.
