The river is fairly small in this area due to water being pulled off for irrigation&#8230;but that makes for some great fly fishing water.  The salmon fly hatch from two weeks previous was over so I expected that fish would be holding close to the bottom&#8230;sounded like a good opportunity to try some Bamboo EuroNymphying.  I took out my 9&#8242;  0&#8243;  3 wt Bamboo EuroNymphing rod for the day and wasn&#8217;t disappointed.  The rainbows, browns, and whitefish were happy to take small nymphs, but the majority were less than 12&#8243; long.  But, I was lucky to pick up one very nice brown on a #20 two-bit hooker pattern.  Here are a few photos of my day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270089-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270089-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270089-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270089-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>The Middle Deschutes River<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270088-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270088-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270088-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270088-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Fishing with my buddies Bill, Vince, and Lynn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270098-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270098-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270098-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270098-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>A nice little rainbow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270097-580x326-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270097-580x326-2.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270097-580x326-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P5270097-580x326-2-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>A beautiful big brown that took a #20 two bit hooker pattern.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got back out recently on the Middle Deschutes River about 25 minutes from my house with a couple of good fishing friends.
