From Kaufmann Streamborn fly shop in Tigard, Oregon.

It’s finally here! The highly anticipated trout opener on the Lower Deschutes will kick-off this weekend. It’s one of the most anticipated weekends of the year on the Big D’.

The “upper reaches” of the Lower Deschutes, between Pelton Dam and the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation will be open for fishing April 26th, until October 31st.

The resident “footballs” have lost some intellect as of late, this section of the river has been closed for nearly 6 months! The trout are now gorging themselves on fat 3-year old Stonefly Nymphs as well as other aquatic morsels.

f you are planning on going out to the desert to join in on the party, click the link below and we’ll break down the weekend for you.
