The Deschutes is my favorite place to go. I totally zone out and don't care about anything else while I'm there. It is a "blue ribbon" (i.e., kick butt) fishery. The trout in the Deschutes are called "Redsides". They are legendary for their size and fighting ability. They are wild trout that have been there forever. The Deschutes is a big western river. Strong current all year long. Makes the trout strong.
I used to wet a fly at least every other weekend. Since I had a baby a year ago, I don't get out as much anymore.
What does this have to do with EDA, SOA, or ESBs? Nothing - I'm spent. I have been travelling a lot lately. Man that sucks the life out of you. I used to travel almost every week for 5 years. Now I thankfully usually only do it once or twice a quarter.
Anyway, I'll take some pictures.

The current may make them strong, but throwin' 'em back makes the gene pool weaker, bra. The only reward the dumb ones should get is a whack in the head. ;)
Funny how the fish on the USA side of the river are smart (because their are anglers) and on the reservation side of the river they are dumb (because there aren't many).
You are allowed to take 2 fish per day (size limits). I don't because they are wild. There are very few rivers left that have native wild fish.
I do kill hatchery steelhead though - if I can catch 'em :)
