The Middle Deschutes is a possibility for those of you who are a bit more adventurous and stronger waders. The water is still fairly high and cold, but the fishing is waking up with spring. Skwalas will be a hatch to look out for, March Browns are likely still a week or 2 away, and now is a good time to strip streamers and try your bigger stonefly nymphs and crayfish patterns with the water being up, the bigger fish will be out more and hiding less because of the cover of the higher flows.
In 3 weeks the water draw down will be on and the river will really be awake when that happens, but I would say it is worth it now too.
