Deschutes Fly Fishing Report May 21, 2017

  It’s been a weird kind of year.  High flows and cold fronts have definitely affected the Salmonfly/Stonefly hatch.  The giant bugs are present in all stretches of the river. Although the bug presence is heavy and they’ve been there for two weeks now, the fish are not keyed on…
