Thursday Quick Report

Thursday Quick Report

The photo above is of the full moon shining on the river. The moon is waning now. 

The river has been dropping quickly all week. The water is now pretty on par with what we see on most January days. It will be noticeably higher than a summer flow, but no longer in the trees. Most of the spots that you like to fish will be fishable - though the wading might be a bit more dicy. 

Last weekend the flows were 1200 to 2000 CFS higher than they will be this weekend. Water coming out of the Madras dam is currently at 5340 CFS and dropping. The river clarity is excellent right now. Even the White River is clear - so fishing below the confluence of the White and Deschutes is good to go. 

Be very careful getting here! We have been having cold and freezing fog in the mornings, making the sidewalks and streets icy in town. The fog hangs around past noon on some days - but eventually burns off leading to bright sunny days. With clear skies at night the outdoor camping will be chilly - but not colder than 25 degrees. You can have fires on the river now, so it is a good idea to bring your own firewood. There are fire rings provided at all the campsites, so you can really get the full camping experience out here in the winter time. 

All the snow has melted now and most of the melt has run off the hillsides. It took a while for that to happen, which is why the river took so long to drop back into shape. The weather looks good for the week ahead: mostly sunny days with high temps in the 40s on most days and night temps dropping no lower than 23 degrees. 

If camping isn't your cup of tea, most of the hotels and motels in town have reduced rates in the winter. You will have the river mostly to yourself!

If there is a hatch this week it is most likely going to be the Blue Winged Olive hatch. This small mayfly will show up in flat glassy stretches of river just downstream of rapids or riffles. The tiny size of this insect will require an imitation in size 18 or 20 and 6x tippet. Bring a soft dry fly rod strung and ready with a BWO pattern. Until the hatch is upon you, use a different rod for streamer fishing or nymph fishing. Euro nymphing techniques are absolutely a home run for winter angling on the Deschutes.
