As usual let’s start the report on the Metolius River and let me share with you the trends and conditions we’ve seen over the past several days and look into the crystal ball a little on what the hatches should look like this week. 
The Green Drake hatch is waning now but still should be hatching enough this coming week to remain important from Canyon Creek to Candle Creek. The hatch times seem to be shifting to closer to 3 PM, where a week and half ago you might remember that I was talking about seeing them as early as noon. Drakes in #14 and #10 are both abundant and carry and fish both sizes this week. 
PMD’s (#16) are still very important! Look for them to be mixed in with Mahogany Duns (#16) and BWO’s (#18-20) all afternoon. It won’t be non stop, but from noon to 5 or so there will be hatches to find, also adding tan caddis (#16), gray caddis (#14) and still some little olive stones #18. Tina and Dove were on the river yesterday and the little olive stone (#18) was prevalent and fish were keyed on them yesterday afternoon. Don’t forget how important the October Caddis are this time of year and that the Pupa is awfully important each afternoon and evening. 
We’ve been having excellent nymph fishing with caddis pupa, perdigons, frenchie’s, walts worms golden stones, soft hackle PT, 2 bit hookers, and zebra midges. AND with the massive kokanee spawning run there are a ton of little orange eggs in the drift and some rainbows will actively sit below the salmon redd’s eating opportunistically on eggs. 
Bull Trout fishing is good to very good. With these warm sunny days you might consider getting on the water really early to beat the sun. Not always, but usually Bull’s like darker times to hunt and feed. We have been getting most of the fish on bigger articulated streamers and Dolly Llama’s.
