Had a chance to hit the Deschutes River last weekend with a buddy. We were targeting steelhead and the water was a bit chilly but clear. Started off slow, missed a few decent strikes, and I probably lost the biggest fish of the day right at the bank — so frustrating! Ended up catching a nice hatchery fish later on using a bead and pink yarn. The weather was decent, not too windy, which made for a nice day out. How's everyone else doing? Are the fish biting in your neck of the woods?

Sorry the big one got away! Sounds like it was still a great day to be out. The old saying is true though. The worst day fishing is still better than the best day working! 
Been almost 20yrs since I fished the Deschutes! My brother and I headed over that way and we were flyfishing. Love that area! I'm disabled now and don't get to fish anymore, but sure do miss being able to do it.
