Metolius River - June 28th 2012

Recorded:  Sunny75 ° F Fishing: Great


Auspicious week here on The Met.  It’s official, Golden Stones are hatching!!  I saw my first few goldens of the season near Pine Rest CG this week.  The hatch is just getting underway so it may take a little time for the fish to recognize these big bugs.  Green Drakes continue to come off in the afternoon.  Add in Caddis, PMDs, BWOs, Yellow / Green Sallies, Midges--there is a lot on the Rainbow’s menu right now.  Be sure to bring a variety of flies imitating each insect.  Have several life-stages represented.  The fish can start to get pretty fussy this time of year due to the abundance of natural insects to choose from.  6x leaders and tippets and a good dead drift are essential while dry-fly fishing.

Shop Tip:  Due to its unusually cold spring water, The Met sees primarily Golden Stones. Very few giant salmonflies hatch on this river.  Concentrate on Goldens and don’t worry about salmonflies.  Additionally, unlike other rivers (like the Deschutes) that see tremendous stonefly activity for about a month, here on The Met the GS hatch goes on, and on, and on for about 3-4 months!! However, we don’t usually see the enormous clouds of stones one may observe on other rivers.  Instead, we see GS in consistent, albeit, smaller numbers.  Fish will move on and off the GS hatch.  All that said, it's a great time to cruise the upper river casting GS against the bank and under overhanging vegetation.

RAINBOWS: Golden Stones, Green Drakes, Caddis, PMDs, BWOs, Yellow / Green Sallies, Midges, Rusty Spinner

BULL TROUT:  has been consistent as always.  I’ve experienced good BT activity in the mornings and evenings.  Steelhead gear and tactics prevail.  A variety of streamers and nymphs will hook these guys.  We have over 30 different BT streamers in our shop!
