Fishermen of the Deschutes River will tell you that the river is incredible for year-round fishing. These Maupin, Oregon fishermen will also tell you that it’s a very technical river to fish, and unless you have Deschutes’ experience, the fishing will be great, but the catching won’t. We recommend using one of the local professional fly-fishing guide services.
