I'd call a local(Eagle Crest) tackle shop and ask them what hatches are going to be taking place and match your flies to that. Unless someone from the area on heer knows.
We caught lots of browns last Christmas (while staying at eagle crest) using small blue fox spinners and jerkbaits. Nice area there.
Check out the crooked river if you get a chance. it can be real nice this time of year just below the dam.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure I'll have time to check it out though. I am only going to be down there a couple days one of which will be spent on Bachelor snowboarding with my son. The great thing about the Deschutes is that I will be able to walk out of the condo and take a trail to be on the water in about 10 mins. Snowboarding, fishing, lounging...it's going to be a great bday weekend!![]()

I'm fortunate enough to have access to a condo there so we end up going down 3-4x a year. I don't know why I haven't fished it before! :doh:
Here are some more pics from the trip. Including pictures from the summit of Mt Bachelor. Also, I am used to seeing deer all around Eagle Crest but we have never seen this many at the same time. We counted 35 as we drove around one day.
I am a WorldMark owner and we stay at Eagle Crest several times a year also... Don't know why I have never fished the river when staying there but you can bet your a$$ I will now!
Nice pics. We saw about that many elk one day on our way up the mountain on a snowboarding trip.
We had to wait nearly five minutes for those elk to cross the road. It was just past the Inn at Seventh Mountain on the way upthe hill. I am hoping to get back up there one more time before the snowboard season is over, my kid just got a new burton custom he is itching to break in. I will defenantly be taking fishing poles.
BTW, I see you use the rainbow lift. That is our favorite side of the mountain. It usually has good snow and less of a crowds.
