The Metolius itself has been in the smoke, but on and off and the AQI has generally been better there than in Sisters itself.
There are many good hatches and we are just days away from September which I have always considered to be the finest dry fly month of the year.
PMD’s #16, BWO’s #20, Caddis (tan #16, olive #16-18, yellow #20) Rusty Spinners #16-18, Golden Stones #10-12, a few mixed Salmonflies #4-6, Little Olive Stones #16-18, Ameletus #14 and Mahogany Duns #16. That’s a whole bunch of hatches and it will be better than that in a week to 10 days when the Fall Drakes and Flav’s start coming down the pipeline. OH BOY!
Amazing nymph action all over the river so bring a nymph rod and a dry fly rod, and if you’re into it, bring an 8 weight streamer rod for the Bull Trout.
