anglers, don't forget the seasonal closure took effect on 10-31-17 so as of yesterday the river is closed a short distance from the Headwaters down through Camp Sherman to the Allingham Bridge. This is closed to protect spawning fish and has been a big help in creating the wild trout fishery the river has become … Continue reading Metolius fishing report 11/2/17

I was on the river yesterday after the big weekend storm. The river was very slightly off color and not noticeably higher although the gauge shows the river a few hundred cfs higher than normal. Its a big enough river to absorb that small percentage of flow to not be too noticeable . It was … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 10/24/17

They keep coming. October 13th and the hatch was strong with both #10 drakes and #14 flav's mixed with PMD and BWO this afternoon. Timmy (one of our guides) just is off the river. We love it!

We sure have some good autumn weather in the Sisters area today and we love it. Afternoon mayfly hatches are rocking! As are October Caddis. PMD's are not done yet but they are mixing in with our other yellow fall mayfly, the cinygmula. No worries, as the same fly patterns are a good match for … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 10/12/17

Tina and I spent the afternoon on our favorite river and we ran into some good hatches near the hatchery. The really good news was Flav's were coming off and the fish were "drake taking" them from about 1:30 to 2:15-30'ish. Had the best success on the Flav Film Critic. There were also a lot … Continue reading Metolius update 8/28/17

Trout fishing has also been quite good with Clarks Stones and PMD's in the upper river, PMD's, Yellow Sally's, Caddis (galore), BWO's and Rusty Spinners in the Middle and Lower river to the Candle Creek … Continue reading Metolius River Report 8/19/17

Oh my gosh, from Golden Stones to PMD's and Baetis and Caddis and Bull Trout it is happening out here. We had an epic day on the upper river with Clarks Stones the other day.
