Man those things bight like hell LOL or is that the fish when they finally key in on the "Flying Cheeseburgers" Was at Mecca the other week but they weren't crushing the bugs yet. The water has been some what of an issue but last year was still good and this year should be too. Don't let it stop you from pounding it. If it's not on yet swing a golden back into the bank, no real need to cast more than 15 feet out as most these fish will be in a little tighter with levels like this. The water is not prime but that may only keep people off it so if you get lucky like we did the other week you will have nearly the whole place to yourself.

Well here's a little water info for you about the Lower D and the Deschutes Basin:
