{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: HELP NEEDED: Impromptu Oregon Fishing Trip

Both the Deschutes and Metolius are amazing.  If you are deciding based on access, the D involves getting in and out the car occasionally whereas the Metolius you can park at a campground and walk and wade all day.  I am a strong wader and have had some close calls on the D.  Be careful wading there, certain spots can drop off steeply and that water is moving.  If you have felt soles bring them (although check regs, it's been years but I think they;re still legal in OR).    

If I was going now, and since it's not Steely season I would fish the Metolius.  That said both rivers are world class in my opinion and you can;t go wrong with either one.

Best advice for the Descartes is to focus on the banks.  I am not sure what is hatching this time of year as I have not fished it this early, but maybe march browns?  The fly shops in may pin can help you there.  Right now it is a trout game.  It is a huge river but the best thing to do is ignore 90 percent of it and fish near the banks.  Thee are trout throughout the river but will be fewer downstream as you move towards macks canyon.

Is there anything in particular you are looking for?
