Irie,

I was thinking about giving it a try this weekend, since most rivers are blown with snowmelt. The Deschutes has a pretty low elevation headwater, but it came up from 306 on Thursday to 364 on Friday morning. The gage is not recording since then, so I don't know if it's still rising. 350 cfs is about the limit for good fishing conditions. If it levels off or drops, I might give it a go Sunday.

I've got a "little D" hatch chart around here somewhere. BWOs and another species are usually the dominant hatch around now I think. Parachute Adams usually works. I read a report from a guy who fished it earlier this past week, and he caught fish with small nymphs.
