Deschutes River - Upper - September 18th, 2004
supplied by: [url "http://www.fisheyesoup.com/redir.php?recKey=22,re"]Fly and Field Outfitters[/url]
FISHING: Excellent
ONLY OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30th. (Above Crane Prairie)

Dry flies are, still, the order of the day. Lots of fish and lots of bugs. Midges and Caddis are active.

Watch those undercut banks and deeper pools for the big bonus fish!

Humpys, Royal Wulffs, Parachute Adams, Griffith's Gnats, Elk Hair Caddis in Sizes 16, 18 and 20 will do the trick.


OTHER FLIES: Serendipities, Prince Nymphs, Flashback Pheasant Tails, and Suspended Midges in Sizes 18 and 20. Black or Peacock Beadheaded Leeches for the deeper holes.

Crane Prairie Reservoir - September 18th, 2004
supplied by: [url "http://www.fisheyesoup.com/redir.php?recKey=22,re"]Fly and Field Outfitters[/url]
FISHING: Good
Fish in better numbers and larger sizes are available! Fish podded up in the channels.


The chironomid hatch continues. A midge pupa set under an indicator suspended one to two feet off the bottom over the silty flats will fool the mighty “Cranebow”.


If you have a Stickleback pattern, or anything resembling a fry, throw it around the weed edges or in the downed trees!

Sub-surface: Slylines, Camo lines and Flourocabon leaders/tippets are a MUST here. Olive Woolly Buggers.
