 UPPER
DESCHUTES RIVER: The Deschutes River Oregon is
the lifeblood of Central Oregon. The Upper Deschutes River
Oregon, while less well known than sections downstream,
ranges in character from placid elbows to wild whitewater.
From the dam at Wickiup Reservoir to Benham Falls this
central Oregon fly fishing river produces both wild and
stocked rainbow trout and brown trout. Most of the fish
in this stretch are in the 8-14 inch range but larger
fish are caught every year. A 34 inch 15 lb rainbow trout
was caught near the Harper Bridge in Sunriver in the summer
of 2004! Fly fishing this stretch is best from a drift
boat, with the best central Oregon fly fishing typically
occurring early or late in the day during summer. Action
in the evenings can be quite good, particularly over weed
beds and next to grassy banks. The Upper Deschutes River
Oregon is perfect for the angler who prefers central Oregon
fly fishing from a boat but doesn’t want to commit to
whitewater or deal with crowds.
