Deschutes River Salmon Fly Hatch

deschutes-river-salmon-fly-hatch.jpg

The Deschutes River salmon fly hatch in on!  This time of year (early June) is usually when the salmon flies start hatching on the lower Deschutes.  One of the most popular stretches to drift is from Warm Springs to Trout Creek.

It’s an easy one day trip and the fishing can be hot and heavy if you hit the hatch at the right time.  Big red sides start looking to the surface for the big flies and they are usually close to shore so you don’t have to be a master fly caster to catch plenty of fish.

The first time I ever fly fished the salmon fly hatch we were late.  The fish were gorged and the hatch was pretty much over.  I was walking along the bank and saw a good hole right next to shore.  All I had out was leader so I just plopped my Sofa Pillow down in the center of the hole and boom!

A 20 inch red side exploded on the fly and took off down stream.  Long story short ten minutes later I released a beautiful 20 plus inch red side.  The guy I was fishing with was around the other side of an island and didn’t see the fish.  He never did believe I caught one.  These big dry flies are really fun to fish!

Evening on the Deschutes River in Bend Oregon

jack8-08-002-small.jpg

We have been spending most of our evenings on our deck which over looks the Deschutes River in SW Bend Oregon.  The days have been hot but the evenings are nice with the breeze blowing off the river.  We feed the birds and have a bird bath which attracts all kinds of birds this time of year.  We have over 1/2 dozen Rufus Hummingbirds that are constantly chasing each other.  It makes for quite an enjoyable evening.

The moon is now full making for enjoyable walks down our quiet street after dark.  The moon has been really bright and the large pine trees cast moon shadows!  After our evening on the deck and walk in the moon light it’s time to go to bed with the windows open and listen to the Deschutes River below as it softly flows by gently lulling you to sleep.

I recently listed my neighbor’s home three doors down.  They just reduced the price and plan on selling before the snow flies.  Here’s a virtual tour – http://www.distinctivehometours.com/tour.asp?tour=Branham  Good river front properties with Cascade mountain views are rare in Bend.  This is a great property for someone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle.
