Deschutes
Toban had planned a fishing trip to the Deschutes River in Oregon over Easter weekend when Vada and I travelled to Denver. The river levels were too high for fishing that weekend so the trip got postponed. Conditions were workable this weekend so we headed out.
We camped right on the Deschutes River in the town of Maupin (population 400). This portion of the river doesn’t look quite as majestic as the more interesting rapids outside of town.
We dropped Toban off at the fly shop where we met up with his guide.
I had all day to entertain Vada and Jamie. Luckily the weather was great and the town had a grade school with a nice play ground.
Reunited with Toban for an evening walk along the river. Vada corrected me that this bigger portion of the river was actually the ocean.
The next morning we went out with Toban to see some of the areas the guide had taken him fishing.
We had never been this far east in Oregon before. The high desert terrain is so different from what we are used to in the Portland area yet it was only a little over 2 hour drive away.
