The big rip rap banks and turbulent lies will be unoccupied until spring. The nymph fishing on either side of the hatch has been consistent with just about any little mayfly nymph under cased caddis.

Deschutes River Fishing Report - November 11, 2011

11-11-11 We won't see a day like this one for another century....date wise. As for the activity in Maupin, I thought we might see a few more folks out here on a holiday like Veterans Day, but maybe it is not a day that people get a vacation for. I don't know, because my big vacation days of the year are Christmas Day and New Years Day - pretty much the only days of the year that the shop is closed.

The bell on the front door keeps dinging like crazy because the wind is gusting pretty hard out here. We awoke to temps in the mid to high 20 degree range and it started warming significantly by mid day. Then the wind started to howl and that is what is happening now - very gusty conditions on the river. The fishing is probably going to be tough today for three reasons - 1. Full moon cycle 2. Huge front moving through with large changes in the barometric pressure 3. The annual leaf hatch. This is the one day of the year that all the colorful fall foliage becomes an extremely large pain in the wazoo for anglers. No matter how you are fishing right now - casting a dry for trout, nymphing, or swinging flies for steelhead - you are hating life. Every other cast will result in a hook up - a bright yellow alder leaf hook up! The river is going to be thick with leaves until these winds subside, so keep your chin up because this too will pass.

It is a fantastic time of year to camp on the Deschutes as long as you bring a warm sleeping bag. Bring your own pile of firewood and enjoy a big ol bonfire at night because this is the one stretch of the year that fires are actually allowed on the Deschutes. All of the drive in camp spots have a designated fire pit, but if you are camping on the river in a boat in camp, please remember to bring your own wood and bring a fire pan to keep from scarring the rocks and earth (it is the rule, but it is also respectful to the river). We wrap our wood in a saran wrap (buy this at your local hardware store - meant to wrap pallets for shipping) and carry it in our boats for all of our camp trips. The fire pan elevates the fire up off the ground (you can buy an official one or simply use a metal garbage can lid).

The trout are still actively gorging themselves on BWOs (blue winged olives) in the back eddies and slow moving foam lines. When they are not looking up, they are usually down deep chomping on nymphs such as the cased caddis, any rubber leggy buggy thing, or even BWO nymphs trailing off of a dry fly.

John reports from his recent steelhead trips that the steelhead are hanging out in a little bit slower froggier water, but that they happily ate a swung streetwalker on floating line yesterday. He was fishing in the stretch below Shearers Falls doing float trips. If you want to go deep, then a sink tip and a weighted fly would be the way to swing - but it isn't really necessary (according to the three steelhead that ate surface flies yesterday).

The steelhead are spread out throughout the river now, and no one area is better than any other area. They don't move in one big pod, and once they are acclimated to the river they will be here until spring waiting to spawn in the tributaries. I talked to a group of guys who had been camping this week in an area between Trout Creek and Maupin and there were 3 or 4 of them nymphing for steelhead with little success. Other folks on that same stretch managed to hook a few steelhead each day. Around Maupin the reports are of one or two fish per day, depending on the day. Since this front rolled in, I have heard of nothing being hooked on 11-11-11. The leaves probably have a lot to do with that.

The leaf hatch will pass through and fishing will remain good through the month with fewer and fewer anglers around. It is nice to be able to go down to the river to fish your favorite run and to actually have a chance to do so. In recent years the trend amongst road anglers (so I have heard many times in the shop) seems to be a hole-hogging trend. By hole-hogging, I am talking about those anglers who get to a popular spot first (we are all fine with that as long as you don't sleep on the road at the spot) and do not leave that spot for the entire day - or for 5 or more hours. It is reasonable to get to a spot first and make a pass through the water, and not unreasonable to make two passes through the water. The pass through the run may take you a full hour each time - great, have fun and enjoy it. But 5 or 6 hours of passing through a spot again and again and doing this day in and day out for 4, 5, 6, 7 days at the same piece of water, that is what most would consider being a bit of a hole-hog. Now, I understand that you love the spot and that you have confidence in the spot, and (God knows) you have come to know a great deal about where fish hold in that spot because it is the only place that you ever fish.... Let me just shed a different light on the situation from the standpoint of a visiting angler. There are a lot of people who love the Deschutes and who come to fish the Deschutes one time or two times a year for 3-4 days for the past 20 or 30 or however many years. They too, love the spot that the hole-hog loves and they would probably love a chance to fish that spot, just one pass through, even, during their visit. Perhaps this is the spot where they caught their first steelhead. It could be the spot where they fished with their dad or brother who has now passed away and they wanted to fish the fly tied by dad or brother in that spot - which happened to be his favorite spot. But they never get a chance to fish through the spot because the hole-hog never leaves the spot during daylight hours for a week or more at a time. I know of a few popular spots on the river where ashes of beloved steelheaders have been scattered. Wouldn't it be nice to have a chance to fish that spot while remembering your friend, brother, father....but you can't because of a hole-hog. There are hole-hogs out there who may recognize themselves in this description, and some of whom who won't care. They are not breaking the law, just the long standing code of common ethics for river fishermen around the world. In British Columbia and Ireland, and Scotland (to name just a few of the places I have witnessed this) they have the rotational angling rules written on a big board on the side of the river. Start at the top of the run and work your way down stream casting once and stepping twice between casts. Should you hook a fish in the run, you should play that fish until you land it or lose it. After the hook up the rules say you should step out of the run and walk back up to the top to rotate in behind the other anglers working down stream. (I am fairly certain that no angler on the Deschutes is going to step out of the run after hooking a fish...but this is how it is done in other places) This way everyone gets a chance to fish and maybe even catch a fish on the great beats and runs of the rivers that hold salmon and steelhead.

Sure, it is idealistic to think that the hole-hogs are going to see this and recognize themselves and actually do anything to change their behavior. I hope they do, but it is unlikely. Every river has its hole-hogs. I can talk to the guys who fish the North Umpqua regularly and they will describe the hole-hog vehicles to a T. The license plate from (fill in the blank with WA, OR, ID, CA) the distinctive ski rack, the color, make, and model of the vehicle.... Yes, it is unlikely that hole-hogs will change their ways, but I think they would have a better and more diverse fishing adventure if they were willing to try new spots. They would likely find other new and favorite spots on the river and would add a little spice to the trip. Sure, it can get crowded out here in the high season and it can be difficult to get an open piece of water, as a guide going into my 14th season I understand that very well. But staying in the same spot all day…. and to do that day after day, never allowing other anglers to have a chance to ever fish that spot....it just is not right. As we get more and more people on this planet (7 billion and counting), we are going to have to learn to share the water. Share the runs. Rotate through. If you have made your pass through the run, or two passes through the run, have confidence that you have covered the water to the best of your ability and move on to a new spot to put your fly in front of a steelhead that has not yet seen a fly. If you get to your second favorite spot and you see an angler there, quietly wait and see if he is near the bottom of the run. Talk to the angler to see if it would be okay for you to start at the top of the run to make a pass through - most anglers (except true hole-hogs) don't have a problem with someone fishing behind them if they have alre bDepartment Goodlookingstrippedsingers Szh Act Group Death Articles Good Looking Stripped Singers DeschutesAngler.com:Deschutes River Fishing Reportn Sites Good Looking Stripped Singers yDepartment Goodlookingstrippedsingers Szh Act Group Death Articles Good Looking Stripped Singers DeschutesAngler.com:Deschutes River Fishing Reporti Good Looking Stripped Singers Stripped
