The Metolius is seeing a nice afternoon BWO hatch about 1 to 2:30. Likely not lasting for an hour and a half, but during that period you should see enough bugs hatching to get the fish up to eat dries.
Otherwise, it is very good nymphing right now, with eggs, perdigons, jigs, blue psycho prince, golden stones, Mcgee’s girdle and October Caddis Pupa.
Bull Trout are definitely eating streamers, and we have not seen any sort of transition to smaller nymphs like what happens a lot of mid-winter periods. That said, Bull Trout love MOPS, Red Ice Cream Cones and Leeches in the winter.
Snow is piling up there today, so watch the roads, but it looks like a slight warm up is coming tomorrow.
