Fish Report for 7-9-2022
The Metolius PMD hatch yesterday was off the charts
7-9-2022
The Fly Fishers Place
The Metolius PMD hatch yesterday was off the charts. Will it be that way everyday? No. But the trend is great for the moment. Good PMD hatches during the day make for good Rusty Spinner Falls in the evening.
Caddis and Yellow Sally’s are hatching well and may be important from lunch time to dinner, but expect better action after dinner to dusk with both of these.
When I was on the river last earlier this week I saw some golden stone adults both in the upper river above the store, and in the lower river below Bridge 99. Not many on Sunday 7/3 and Monday 7/4, but they are starting and will be increasingly important for the next few months.
You know the drill on non-hatch times and if you read our reports on a regular basis you know we are hot on Euro Nymphing here. I’ll reinforce that. last weekend Tina and Ollie and I camped Friday through Monday and on Saturday I spent the day Euro Nymphing with good success. On Sunday, just because I hadn’t done it in a while, I set up an indicator rig. By far, the Euro rigging is more in touch with the fish and the catch rate much better.
