Metolius River Outfitters






They say one never enters the same river twice. This especially holds true for the Metolius. The hatches here are some of the most diverse of any river in the world. The best thing you can do is focus on your presentation, not necessarily your choice of fly. The catch can be on one day and off the next. Unless you are imitating emergers, keep your drift as dead as possible. Use 9 foot leaders when fishing heavy flies and 12-15 foot 5x-6x leaders on the surface or just beneath the surface when fishing small flies. Small flies reign. Also, try dead-drifting a streamer for bull trout.
Fishing Report
Late Spring / Early Summer
Tan caddis abound size 14-16. Small black stoneflies are common and often overlooked size 18-20. PMDs should be kicking off late May and lasting well into the warm season. The green drake hatch starts in late May and usually lasts through mid June. Be prepared to watch and wait for the magic to happen.

The Metolius River is a world-renowned spring creek that attracts fly anglers from all over the world. It is considered to be one of the most challenging rivers to fish anywhere. If you define success not by the number of fish caught but rather by the quality of your overall experience in a beautiful natural place, you will not be disappointed. The Metolius’s fish are all wild and are masters of their environment. They are strong, smart and brilliantly beautiful. Stocking ceased in the early 90s to allow wild fish to regain a stronghold and it has been a huge success with fish redd counts (nests) continuing to increase over time. Here you will primarily find rainbow trout, bull trout, white fish. Please remember to carefully release each fish you catch. Keep them in the water and in a deep location to avoid head trauma and to avoid oxygen depletion.
