Spent another day on the Metolius yesterday and had much better success than the last skunking I got. I got fish on Purple Comparaduns and PMD Film Critic and Tina got a couple on Green Drakes and Purple Comparaduns. There are a lot of PMD’s, BWO’s, Caddis, Mahogany Duns going. Drakes are waning fast, but we saw some yesterday.
This weekend the eddies are going to be tough with all the needles and leaves swirling around. Once the wind stops and give it a day for that to wash out and/or sink and things will be back to normal.
Bull Trout fishing has still been good and many people have seen Bull’s hunting down Kokanee! Big Streamers are a must when we see that.
Nymph action is excellent, with a lot of good euro nymph action, plus Oct Caddis Pupa, Golden Stones, Orange Pat’s Rubber Legs, Eggs and Rainbow Warriors.

The Crooked continues to be closed until about 11/1/22. Stay tuned as the water levels return to “normal” (ish) about that time.
