The Metolius is fishing well. Nymphing has been the best method in terms of numbers of fish but caddis, PMD’s, and golden stones are making for fun dry fly opportunities on some days and are worth having in your box. For nymphs some of our favorites are spanish bullets, rainbow warriors, two-bits, and golden stones.
