Really nice Bill. Good looking fly. Let us know how fishes.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Carl,

My limited testing on the Middle Deschutes shows it will catch fish.

The weather was beautiful. I met ronr for lunch last Thursday in Redmond. He told me the Crooked River I intended to fish was now running at over 1,000 CFS instead of the 100 CFS from 2 days ago. By dinner time it was at 2,000 CFS which is out of its banks in places. :cry:

The next day the middle Deschutes was at 72 CFS, very wadable and clear...

Unfortunately, this was 60% less water than 2 days prior. I never saw a fish rise that day but swinging flies brought out a few bumps and 2 small Rainbows and 1 Brown. There were March Browns in the air and the RTF was the fly of choice on a 3-fly cast.

Wonderful! Thanks Bill, a great report.

I know that stretch well. Water looks nice! The March Brown hatch in that area is what started my soft hackle journey.
