The report guy is going fishing in Cuba 11/1 to 11/14 so unless the weather gets crazy this report should hold up until he is back. Yesterdays dry fly action was again really impressive after the cold snap earlier in the week.

another great week for us on the Metolius, with plenty of PMDs and BWO's and Caddis to keep the fish well fed. The Ameletus haven't popped so far but should now, so be prepared with an olive hackle stacker sparkle dun #14. That same fly will match Flav's next month! Stones are isolated in pockets. … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 8/9/19
