#4 - Upper Deschutes - 7.26.2014

We consider the Upper Deschutes to be our homewater and is probably the river we have the most passion for.  In 2008, we purchased a cabin just downstream from Wickiup Reservoir, and have spent the last six years exploring and learning about this river.   We have had some of our finest and best fishing memories at places like "the dinner hole"...named for the certainty of the catch.  We've also had some of our lowest moments as we watch the river dry to a trickle as a result of downstream water rights and irrigation.  

We love this river for so many reasons, but brown trout like this one are definitely part of the equation.
