The Metolius River continues to be excellent for mountain whitefish, redband trout, and bull trout. Nymphing with stonefly, mayfly or caddisfly nymphs has been effective for trout and streamers are a good bet for bull trout.

Anglers should keep an eye out for afternoon green drake hatches, September can be a great month for dry fly action on the Metolius.

More Bull trout will enter the river from Lake Billy Chinook as the spawning peaks in September. Catch-and-release for trout including bull trout. Fishing is restricted to fly-fishing only upstream of Bridge 99 (Lower Bridge).

The Metolius River from Allingham Bridge upstream to the headwaters will close for the season Nov. 1 and will reopen May 22, 2024.

Artificial flies and lures permitted below Bridge 99 (Lower Bridge).
