The Metolius has been good, with hatches of BWO and Cinygmula Mayflies, a few confirmed March Browns, and a good smattering of Caddis.
A lot of the catching has not been on dries as much the last 7-10 days. A lull for rising trout for some reason? In any case, good action continues on the nymphs of all the above mentioned hatches, and that has kept fishing in the good zone for us.
And, don’t take that as no dry fly action could be found, that would not be the case at all! Be prepared with your dries, cripples and emergers and I think you’ll do well if you’re in the right pool or eddy and the hatch is on.
A few really nice bull trout stories circled around the shop last week. Big fish on streamers and smaller Bulls on Euro Jigs. No matter the size Bull Trout, they are all special, and catching one a 10 1/2′ 3 weight is a blast.
