Two Salts on the Deschutes

The fishing on the Deschutes has been run of the mill steelheading with a few magic days thrown in the mix. That being said the quality of fish this year has been superb. We have been seeing a lot of fish in the 10-12 lb. range and several larger. These fish are mean, taking most anglers into their backing and cartwheeling from one end of the river to other without hesitation. Some battles have gone up to 15 minutes with multiple runs into the backing after having brought the fish all the way to your feet. Hopefully this trend continues for the remainder of the season. Here are a few photos to fuel the fire. I wish there were more but these babies are hard to land.
