Description

Abstract: The Deschutes River is a north flowing tributary of the Columbia River in Central Oregon and is a designated scenic waterway. Summer run steelhead and resident trout are the most important species to the local recreational fishery, although significant numbers of spring, summer, and fall chinook are also taken from the river. The salmon contribute significantly to fisheries in the Pacific Ocean and Columbia River and steelhead enter fisheries in the Columbia. The Deschutes also supports a good population of whitefish, lesser numbers of other trout species, small runs of coho and sockeye salmon, and several species of nongame fish.

Purpose: To guide trout management in the main stem of the lower Deschutes River.
