Hi from beautiful Buenos Aires. I forget to add these things to the report yesterday:

A customer lost a fly rod on the Metolius. Hoping to help track it down! Hello,

this is a long shot but in case you hear anything about someone finding a Douglas Upstream 4WT fly rod with redington zero reel within the last week please let me know.

I only realized today that it likely fell off my truck right outside Camp Sherman Campground and SW metolius river road.

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely, 

Cole Sodja

The Bridge Construction on the road in to the Metolius has begun over Lake Creek near Lake Creek Lodge, detours are set up and with no snow on the upper road probably most of you are not going that way anyway, but keep it in mind this week.

Several people sent me emails with their reports from the Met, Fall and Crooked. A lot of good stories to share. Hippie Stompers on the Fall, Olive Micro Streamers also on the Fall, massive streamers for Bull Trout on the Metolius and a tagged Steelhead on the Crooked caught on a Perdigon.

Have fun out there and help Cole find his fly rod.
