The Metolius is really revving up now, with more and more hatches, and hatches that will be here to stay for the Summer season! Green Drake action is spotty yet, but if you’re going below 99 in the late afternoon you have to be ready for it. 

PMD hatches are coming off well pretty much every afternoon between noon and 4, and they are still mixed with an afternoon emergence of Blue Wing Olives. 

Caddis continue to be important on the warmer days, but don’t expect much on the caddis on the cooler, wetter days. I guess caddis are like me, they like the warm days. 

Brad and Eric were down below 99 the other day and saw some big Salmonfly’s hatching, and fish were eating them. Yes please!

Mixed in, you’ll see some sporadic Goldenstone adults, but the Nymph is still way more important. Yellow Sally’s are a beautiful small bright yellow stonefly that can run from a size 12 to an 18. May is when they start, and they go all summer. I’d say May and July are the best times for Sally’s on the Metolius. 
We’ve been doing really well on the Euro Nymph game with Perdigons and Jigs. Indicator fishing in some areas is more recommended for the bigger pools you can’t wade, but in the little runs you can get to the fish by wading, the Euro method is FUEGO!
