The Upper Deschutes from Little Lava to Crane Prairie is showing a lot of really positive signs of a healthy fishery this early season. Most of the trips have been more successful with euro nymphs and small jig streamers, although a purple or royal chubby with a dropper nymph is a good way to approach this water and a well drifted ant or beetle is always a nice way to fish a small mountain stream. Add some adams, renegades, clarks stones, corn fed caddis to your upper deschutes kit this week. 
I have heard some good reports on the Upper D below Wickiup and down below Sunriver where access is by drift boat of some good fishing on streamers.
