This weeks Metolius River reports are courtesy of some very fine anglers I know, Chester and Phil. 
Chester is almost entirely a Dry Fly Guy, and has been fishing dries throughout the afternoon and evening and finding fish on #16 PMD’s, #18-20 BWO’s, #16 Mahogany Duns, #16 Tan Iris and Tan X Caddis and some #16 Rusty Spinners at the last light of the day. This is mostly near the Wizard Falls area but also upstream of Allingham as that is both of our favorite time of the season to fish dries up there. 
Phil has been around the Canyon and Bridge 99 and from what I can tell the fish still want to eat a Drake, but the Drake hatch appears to have fluttered its last flutter for 2024. I’d still carry a Dry Ice Drake, Sparkle Dun and Film Critic for the next 7 to 10 days based on past experiences. I’ve seen fish eat the straggler Drakes in November. Phil said his week saw fish on both dries and using his Euro nymph rod and the nymphing rod won the fish to net total for the week. 
I saw John Kreft posted a photo of a Silver Stripe Sedge he captured this week. These smaller relatives of October Caddis are going to be more important soon, and now we can focus on the orange pupa from size 8 to size 12 with confidence. Check out his blog and flies https://www.johnkreft.com John and his wife Karen are two of the most respected anglers on the Met. 
Bring that nymph rod set up! Use Golden Stone Nymphs, EGGS(!!!), Perdigons, Sparkle Pupa, Frenchie, 2 Bit Hookers and did I say EGGS. I did , but use them twice. Kokanee spawning time in a run like this drops a lot of round orange protein in the drift. 
As for Bull Trout, it is a prime time of the year to be after them and we prefer streamers for the moment. Euro Jig Streamers are hot, as are the big articulated stuff you’ll cast with a 9 or 10′ 8 weight. There are a lot of really nice fish in the system and the best of it is yet to come.
