We had a skiff of fresh snow overnight and they are saying maybe another 6 to 8 inches coming for the rest of the week. This doesn't make it any easier to get around in an already really snowy place. Next week looks warmer and with some rain moving through I'm hopeful it will help … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 2/1/17

The Metolius has been fishing well this month despite challenging weather and road conditions. Access is pretty limited to the Allingham Bridge area and the fish hatchery. It got warm and it rained here yesterday and overnight with a little more on the way. I am watching the gauge but so far the river has … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report

Come get it while it's good! Pretty active afternoon baetis hatches the last few days and very good nymphing for trout and whitefish for the last week or so. Golden Stone Nymphs, Depth Charge Nymphs, 2 Bit's, Caddis Pupa, Zebra Midges, Eggs, Blue Prince, Batman and Red Lightning Bug. Bull Trout are active and are … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 12/28/16

Sorry for the delay since the last report, I went to New Zealand to go fishing and was away from the computer. Overall, even with the cold weather the fishing has held up pretty well. Bull Trout fishing is good and nymphing for trout also good. There have been a few BWO hatches in the … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 12/13/16

Still holding up on the afternoon Mayfly hatches, although it looks like its pretty solid on only BWO's now, the other stuff has faded away. Tis the season of course. Plenty of small caddis and larger October Caddis out too. I had a friend who did well the other day on an IRIS Caddis. Nymphing … Continue reading Metolius Fishing Report 11/22/16

Dry Fly fishing is better than average for November with the mostly good weather we've been having. Plenty of BWO's, Cinygmula's, Caddis and even a few straggler PMD's to bring fish up. Red Copper John and Tan Caddis Pupa's have been really productive on the Nymph side. I also really like a Blue Prince or … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 11/12/16

Dry Fly action in the afternoon is great. Plenty of BWO's and PMD's to keep the fish looking up. There have been some mahogany duns mixed in and I have had a report of a few Green Drakes still but really, these guys should be done by now so I wouldn't get to excited for … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 10/21/16

WOW, this week is dang good. PMD's are hatching like it's 1999 and you don't need a "Prince" nymph to catch them. Along with the PMD' are Baetis, Mahogany Duns, a few late Flav's and Drakes (but not many!) and a lot of caddis mixed in. October Caddis Pupa have been good on the nymph … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 10/6/16

Green Drakes are really coming off well this week, and we expect next week to be a great week with the warm weather coming back. We are also seeing good PMD, BWO, Mahogany Dun and Flav mayfly hatches. Caddis, including Oct Caddis are hatching well, and a small olive iris caddis and a CDC pattern … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 9/23/16

I love the September report because there is so much to talk about. So, here's the best news....the Fall Drakes and Flav's are hatching. The best part of September as far as I am concerned. Other mayflies to expect are PMD's, Baetis and Mahogany Duns. The Stonefly hatch is strong with the Little Olive Stone … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 9/6/16
