Deschutes Trout fishing and Columbia River Sturgeon have been getting all my attention the last 2 weeks. Salmon fishing at Drano is good if you like combat fishing and ill tempered anglers who for the most part look like they had to get a loan to buy fuel to get there.Ugly crowd and an ugly fishery but the bite is on if you like fishing in a large swimming pool. Not for me. We hope the Columbia reopens to Salmon angling as scheduled. Years of angling for the late run springers means lots of limits when it reopens and I can always find a place to catch these prime Spring/Summer Chinook. Fly rod Trout fishing has been good to excellent on the Deschutes. Where I am fishing we get several prime spots that no else has fished for days. Did I memtion that the strech I am fishing holds the largest trout in the Deschutes ? Still some great dates and weekend days left for the Salmon fly hatch on the Deschutes.these well educated Trout get totally stupid for about 3 weeks. Easy Catching even for rookies. SS
