Mouth to Pelton Dam
It's salmon fly season on the Deschutes. Some cooler weather mid-week may slow down some hatches, but things will likely pick back up by the weekend. Expect salmon fly and stonefly hatches, along with some caddis mixed in . In addition to dry fly fishing, nymph fishing can still be very good this time of year.
