Word came that the Deschutes river
Salmon fly hatch was going off pretty good and I happen to have a day
I could delete from the calendar and make the voyage. Shamefully I
must admit that I have lived within 2 hours of this trout mecca for 6
years and could not even find the time to experience this hatch I
have heard so much about. I was excited to get there even though I
have been running on low hours of sleep and would need to take time
off work to make the trek but the adventure was right in front of me
and couldn’t let the opportunity pass. I met up with some friends
on a chilly desert canyon morning with my last cup of coffee in hand
after sipping down two others on the 2 hour drive there. My friends
had camped overnight and were just getting going when I pulled up.”
What’s the hurry” Dave says jokingly, “Fish won’t start
rising until 10:30am”, or so someone had informed him the day
before. I find it funny that we humans can place God’s creatures on
a time schedule.
