The Deschutes is the premier river in Oregon for fishing and whitewater action and its our favorite river to fish, camp and relax.  I love seeing people catching fish; that connection to nature is so important and often missing in most folks busy daily lives. There\u2019s something about being knee deep that helps us be more grounded, compassionate and perhaps better connected to the world around us.<\/p>\n<p>This last trip, part of our group was a father and his two sons.  The boys are 16 and 18 years old and busy with life at that age; this trip was the perfect time for dad to connect and make meaningful memories that will last a lifetime.  Not only did they learn fly fishing and how to hook, fight and land beautiful wild trout they also were blown away by the immense river canyon, the rapids and they also had a blast jumping into the river at &#8220;hawk rock&#8221;.  This unique rock feature looks like the beak of a hawk extending out over a deep calm pool- the perfect place to jump off for an afternoon swim!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14992\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"River Pic\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-scaled-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-19-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Deschutes River canyon is filled with history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Fishing: Trout on the Deschutes average a strong 14\u2033 with some fish up to 20\u2033. These fish are solid, strong fighters that in our opinion would whip any Montana trout. The oxygenated waters of the Deschutes average a steady 6 mph. Combine that with a heady diet of protein, and these feisty fish put up a good battle. We often see good to excellent hatches of caddis. These fluttering moth-like insects are a staple in the trout\u2019s daily diet this time of year. We fish dries in pockets, riffles and eddies, often spotting big bruisers. When the dry fly action is not on \u2013 working subsurface with nymphs is deadly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14993\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"River Camp\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-scaled-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/watertimeoutfitters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/unnamed-24-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camp on the river is comfortable and relaxed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019ve got a few spots left on this amazing three day trip.
