The main river that most anglers will be fishing during the Oregon DIY Event will be the Deschutes River. The Deschutes River provides fishing opportunities for native wild Redband trout. We chose this time as Salmonflies, Golden Stones, PMDs and Yellow Sallies should be on the menu. Read more about the Lower Deschutes Wild and Scenic River.
