If you've been dreaming about Deschutes fly fishing with less pressure and more solitude, today's episode is your roadmap. We sit down with Warm Springs tribal member and guide Randy Nathan, owner of the Eagle Crossing Restaurant at the Deschutes River crossing, to talk about what it really takes to fish the reservation side: permits, timing, access, and the flies that consistently get eats. From steelhead season strategies to the famed salmonfly hatch, Randy shows why this river is one of the best classrooms in the world for anglers of every level.
You'll hear how Randy learned from pioneering Warm Springs guide Al Bagley, why he launched Native Adventures, and how he's teaching the next generation to do it right. We also cover rebounding steelhead numbers, how the Pelton dam "mixing" changed bugs and temps, and Randy's favorite trout and steelhead patterns (including his secret "Tiger Chubby"). If Deschutes River trout fishing or winter steelhead on the swing is on your list, this one's for you.
