Took the 2.5 hour drive to the mouth of the D today at 3 am. Hiked in 3 miles and fished until about noon and had to get back. I am up to my old tricks again - that is, getting skunked. No worries though. My buddy got first blood on a pretty little native and a then a 7.5 lb hatchery fish that made it to the cooler. The nate took a # 5 blue fox in blue/silver blade, and the bigger fish took a stonefly nymph from the fly rod. Su-weet! I was stoked to see him finally get into some fish after many attempts. I can relate I guess. Fun day, but no fish for me. Water had risen about 8 inches to a foot since I was there last. Tougher to fish for sure. Saw couple of other guys with fish though, so they are there and obviously taking presentatons. Will post pics of my buddy's fish to go with this report asap.

Yeah, Fred. My buddy fished just outside of Maupin last Sat. and landed 6 in five hours. Had a 7th on but you know how that goes. Sounded like a good day. I was fishing the same day at the mouth and got blanked. Fishing has slowed at the mouth but they are backed up at Shearers Falls. Gonna try to make it up there in the next 2 weeks. Come on up!

Didnt make it out there after all. Did get a report from guys who did though. Fish are really strating to push up past Shearers Falls. So the high section of the lower river should start putting on a show pretty soon.

Hey, thats a nice looking nate for the little lady. Way to go! Can't wait to get my boy out fishing next season. Water is looking pretty high at well over 5000 cfs depending on where you are. Might have to leave the flies at home and go straight hardware this time. Thanks for the report.
Out of curiosity, has there ever been a Tilla on the Deschutes?
Thanks again. I'll report on our saturday trip once we are home and fed.

Good friend lives just out side Maupin (and works for one of the local fly shops) says the 'run' this year is the best in several.
Too bad "gas" is $3.00++ per gallon. ARRRGGGGG!!!

Just got off the Lower D. Fished it below the falls about 2 miles, worked our way up and fished a little above the falls. We caught a grand total of NOTHIN. Should have started above and worked our way higher. Threw everything I had at'm but I dont think they were there. Oh well. Word is that there are lots of fish out at south junct. Probably wont make it out there anytime soon. Shooting for Warmsprings in a bout 3 weeks I guess.
Maybe I can talk my in-laws into comming out to the Tilla. Are there many who bank it or do most figure out a seat in a boat? How does it work. I'll check in on the board.
Thanks all.
Jake

Jake,
The guys with boats generally take those without. It is pretty informal, with a lot of "brokering open seats" happening around the campfire over an adult beverage or two...

SFC, I heard the same about the lower reaches there. Slower, but better chances at a B run bruiser. I'm still a numbers guy... size is still a bonus, lol. Talked to a guy who fished So. junct. on tuesday - saw 3 fish caught but none on his line. The fish are in warmsprings I'm betting. I'll report if I get out there.

Fished the top of the Lower D yesterday (Saturday). Heard there were lots of fish in there. Very blustery and rainy. A friend caught a little 24 inch keeper and I went home with the skunk again. Bummer. We figure the total day's hiking adds up to over 10 miles. Lots of work for no fish. Didnt see anyone else with a fish, and noone we talked to had caught anything. I caught a couple bows and a sucker on the fly rod, but thats all.
