Coalition for the Deschutes

Working to restore the Deschutes River so that fish, farms, and families can all thrive. We need to raise our voices together to restore our Deschutes River.

The Upper Deschutes River needs our help, current water management practices are compromising the long term health of this amazing river right here in our community. Did you know that less than 1/4 of 1% of our rivers are protected under the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System? The Upper Deschutes shares this amazing distinction declaring, "...certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with the

ir immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations." Please join us and become part of the conversation, learn more about this river, and share what you learn with your friends.

Fish’s World View

Deschutes Redbands Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Have you ever snorkeled a river? It’s an amazing experience to see fish doing their normal fishy things: searching for large bugs to eat, ducking under a fallen log for shade and protection. To be submerged in a fish’s world gives you a view into another realm, quiet and loud at the same time. It gives you the perspective of what the fish are experiencing, whether that be a muddy, cloudy river or a clear, cold environment. If we put ourselves in someone else’s shoes (or fins), we get a hint of what their life is like, and what we can do to understand and treasure it.
