DESCHUTES DAYS | Solo Fly Fishing on the Lower Deschutes River

I traveled back out to the Big D to spend some time fishing salmonfly and stonefly nymphs ahead of the big hatch that will erupt soon.
I did a solo trip this time and had a very good time catching these hungry trout as they start feeding more coming off of winter. The lower river canyon is bustling with life this time of year and I always love to see the ecosystem waking up and getting ready for spring.
All in all the trip was great. Fish were caught, the scenery was splendid and I had some time to get lost in my own head for a while, which is something I value greatly.

The universal look of getting snagged...

Yep!

Nice video Sean, and great music as well. I’ve fished the Deschutes for over forty years with good friends, our nickname for it is the Stingy Bitch, but we keep coming back. I always tell people it’s about the river/location first, fishing second and catching third. This river haunts me like no other. It’s funny Sean, I worked for thirty years in Northwest craft beverage sales and I drink as much Modelo as anything these days. That and Pfreim pils. Cheers, Tom

Just came across your channel. Loving the content!! Live in Springfield and wanting to fish more areas and you do a great job of showing off Oregon's rivers!

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you so much! Cheers!

Wow, 1000, that’s very cool. Congratulations, I’m happy for you! My podcast (not fishing related but maybe someday I’ll do one) is getting close to 1000 and it’s very exciting. I really dig your videos, the sounds, the music, the pace and the fishing are all on point. Thank you for doing this.

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you so much and congrats on the success of your podcast. Creating anything can be hard sometimes and it's nice to be rewarded for the effort! Cheers!

[@kevingarrett9694]

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you!

Must be fishing down below Maupin with the railroad tracks running next to the river. Nice video..

[@campfire52]

Congratulations on the 1,000 subs milestone! You make great video content so there should be no surprise to your channel growing. If you keep making the videos, I will keep watching the videos (as will the others.) Simple formula. Thank you for what you do. I will happily see you on the next one.

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you so much!

[@Fisher_Munro]

I've been to the Deschutes twice fjis week, ans it's crazy good right now!

[@prolificnorthwest]

Yeah, I'll bet! I liked your description of the " smolt storm" recently. I know exactly what you are talking about there!

[@leonwitherow2400]

Oh man this brings back so many good memories to my first camping trip in Oregon. I stood in some of the places you were fishing from. Great video.

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you so much! It's such an amazing place.

[@OscarOverlanding]

Congratulations! Great video. Thank you!

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you!

[@OscarOverlanding]

@@prolificnorthwest I really dig your channel and appreciate your perspective. I notice you do a fair amount of 3wt fishing on small creeks. Can you recommend a cool little creek? I bought a 3wt set up and would like to put it to use!

[@prolificnorthwest]

@@OscarOverlanding thank you so much. Yeah I love fishing smaller water with smaller rigs. It can take you to some really beautiful places. Do me a favor and send me an IG DM and I'll send you a few places to check out! Cheers!

[@randypalmatier5495]

You have great taste in beer!

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thanks!

[@jred5153]

Been there…. When I see that action on nymphs I will switch over wet flies/soft hackles and swing a few runs. Goodonya for getting out. Congratulations on your channel. Carry on…

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you.

[@trinitycastner2165]

The Quentin Tarantino vibes on the intro are sick.

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you! I had fun making the music for this one.

[@blahblahblah321]

Keep grinding love the vid

[@prolificnorthwest]

Thank you!

Pausing the video to ask, how are the Dungy spice chips? I've seen them around but haven't pulled the trigger yet...

[@prolificnorthwest]

This was first time trying them. I didn’t know what to expect. They taste like Old Bay, which is to say they taste like celery salt. I’ll stick to the jalapeño ones from here on out.

[@richmosley2519]

Um, bro...crab spice?? :D

[@prolificnorthwest]

Yeah, I had to try them. They were meh.

[@richmosley2519]

@@prolificnorthwest I just figured it was Old Bay, which is way too heavy on celery salt. In any case, I commend you on your bravery. :D

[@prolificnorthwest]

@@richmosley2519 they tasted like celery salt, so your assumption is correct.
