The Metolius River is not yet seeing any Fall Green Drakes or Flav’s, but the BWO hatch has taken off, along with more and more little Olive Stone’s, PMD’s, Mahogany Duns and a whole bunch of Caddis including #16 Tan, #8-10 Orange, #20 Yellow and some mixed Grey Caddis from #12 to 16 hatching daily. I watched a fish the other day eat numerous Micro Caddis Emergers in a row and when a #14 dark grey caddis floated over him…..gulp. More than once. Gulp.
Oh my, I love that. Weiss’s HT Caddis is my new fave for this.
Rusty Spinners at Dusk of course!
Bull Trout streamer action is very good and only going to improve over the next 10 to 12 weeks.
I packed 2 rods for the weekend. My Sage Trout LL 490-4 and my Echo Shadow X 10′ 3 weight for nymphs. I am certainly running some Perdigons and Caddis Pupa through their paces this weekend.
