The Lower Deschutes is good for trout on Stonefly Nymphs, October Caddis Pupa, smaller Caddis Pupa, Euro Jigs, Cheeseburgers (double bead peacock stones), Zebra midges, Red Copper John and an old favorite, Prince Nymphs.
You may find some fish up to BWO’s throughout November. A Sparkle Dun and a #18 Purple Haze or Purple Comparadun are great dries for Deschutes risers now.
Guides and friends of mine are finding some Steelhead, both wild and hatchery fish on the Lower River, and with cold weather on the horizon it turns it to skagit lines and sink tips and bigger intruders and leeches that grab the fish’s attention. Floating line options should include swinging an Anderson’s Euphoria and Oct Caddis Pupa.
Nymphing a Double Bead Peacock and a Lightning Bug or Prince is a good way to find steelhead for sure.
