The Middle Deschutes is a long, gorgeous stretch of river we can enjoy from just above Bend, including stretches right through the city, down to Tumalo, Cline Falls, Lower Bridge and Steelhead Falls all the way to Lake Billy Chinook. The diversity of river over all those miles really changes what you might experience including types of fish and the kinds of bugs they will be eating. 
In most cases through here the PMD’s, Pale Evening Duns, Tan Caddis, Yellow Sally’s Blue Wing Olives and attractors like Renegades, Stimulators and Purple Haze often do the trick though the summer from now until mid to late August. One thing we will will keep an eye on, and you posted about is summer flows and water temps, and if they get dangerous for trout survival we will get the word out. For now, all is well if not just about perfect to enjoy a day of fishing through here. 
While I personally stick to a lot of dry flies in this area, you can’t miss on the nymph side with Euro Nymphs like a Jig Soft Hackle PT, Frenchie and Brown Jig Napoleon.
