Rode Trip: Bikepacking and Flyfishing on the Deschutes River Trail

An excellent piece about fly fishing and camping via pedal power along Oregon's Deschutes River Trail.

People write and talk about the salmon fly hatch on the Deschutes River with near religious awe. It’s a time when strange, two inch, orange insects emerge and line the grasses on the banks of the river in biblical proportions, causing large and usually wary trout to throw caution to the wind and feed on the surface with the desperation of the last call at Old Country Buffet.

Or that’s what they say, at least.
