The official response from the ODFW regarding a recent Deschutes fish kill and stranding says that this is a unique situation based on a, "suite of unusual conditions."
We're hearing that this has been occurring annually.

well the migration part is BS. This stretch is 50 river miles downstream of Wickiup dam.
I used to live down that way and I man those flows can change overnight. The close the damn river when the fishing gets really good too. Not like theres a lot of pressure. Huge fish in there. We used to joke that there where three things to make you famous in Sunriver, Royal flush in video crack, a hole in one or a 30+ inch fish. A handful get taken every year.
