3 More Days on the River

Not much new to report on the Deschutes.  Mid-day nymphing is producing nice fish in well oxygenated areas.  Caddis hatches in the evenings have provided us with some silly-good dry fly fishing during the last hour of daylight.  As it gets darker, fish tend to get less picky about pattern.  So tie on something that you have a decent chance of seeing as it get dark, like an elk hair caddis with a light colored wing.  Cast to rising fish and set the hook if you see a rise anywhere near where you think your fly might be.  Gotta love July on the D!
