There's some good fishing going on right now!

     The Deschutes River is open from Little lave Lake downstream to the mouth and fishing reports have been very good. The Salmon fly hatch is coming to an end, but Caddis and PMD's are starting to hach in good numbers.
     The Crooked River continues to fish well with a flow of around 222cfs. Dry Caddis, PMD's are working on top and small Copper Johns, Anato-Mays, Serendipities and Rainbow Warriors are working for nymphs.
     The Cascade Lakes are all open and accessible. Lava Lake, Crane Prairie Reservoir, South Twin Lake and East Lake have been fishing the best for trout and Davis Lake has been great fishing for Large Mouth Bass with Poppers.
