From the stink hole upstream a ways above Lenore. Hadn't fished there in a long time, so had to go back and do some scouting. A couple experienced rods said they thought I was lucky to hit a fish up as far as Lenore, but who's to say? They get dip ins in the Deschutes all the way up to Pelton Dam, sometimes 1/3 of the entire run at that point is dip ins. According to boat guys with fish finders, the confluence is absolutely carpeted with thousands of steelhead. However, the hookup rate would suggest the fish are either scarce or not snappy. Maybe all the boats driving over them from dawn to dusk puts them off the bite. I don't know.
