Starting on the home waters let’s wade in to the spring-fed waters on the Metolius and take a look at all the cool stuff happening there. Last night I had to miss my Friday after work session because we headed down to the Cowboy Dinner Tree for dinner. Chester was quick to fill me in on how good the hatches were last evening, with Blue Wing Olives taking the top spot yesterday. I am confident that as it warms back up this coming week the BWO’s will still be important but the #16 Tan Caddis, #20 Yellow Micro Caddis and #14 Dark Gray Caddis will roll better. 
The Little Olive Stones are getting started and will become a major presence on the River over the next 3 to 4 weeks. Henryville, Hemingway, Olive CDC’s in #16-18 will be your best match. Even an Olive Soft Hackle with Aquel on it fished in the film is a perfect choice. 
Golden Stones continue to spread out over more of the river so expect to see some around the Canyon, Bridge 99 and below. Still good in the upper river from Gorge to the Headwaters. 
Lot’s of mayflies, besides the BWO’s look for PMD’s #16 mostly but think about adding some #18’s the mix in your box in the Fall, Ameletus #14 (robust) Olive Mayfly that look a lot like a Flav which are coming soon, Mahogany Duns #16, and don’t forget your Spinners in the evening at Dusk. Include #16-18 and 20’s in the Spinner selection, with #16 arguably the #1 pattern. 
Nymphing is darn good with the Euro rigs! Also indicator work with Stones, Caddis Pupa and small Streamers in places you can’t wade and get over the fish. 
I’ve been following the “shop boyz” and their Bull Trout Pursuits. To say the least, they know what they are doing and if you want great Bull Trout advice come and talk to Mattias and Gavin at the shop. 
Here is Mattias with one from this week. He is a funny guy and edited the back drop, but you get the picture of the essence of why these fish are special.
