Deshka 6-24

I visited with Larry Ficek today and he reported that a friend fished the Deshka yesterday and boated 8 fish with four people in a few hours. The recent rain had raised the water level and the water temperature had dropped significantly. I had a similar report from Ron at the landing, he said several boats had limits or near limits of fish and the water conditions had improved significantly. He thought the rain would help even more and the fish would start moving through the weir. He also speculated that if you could get to the holes around the rock garden fishing would be spectacular. I have never been that far up river but from the reports from other guides I would be extremly cautious if you go above the weir.
