The Metolius River continues to be excellent for mountain whitefish, redband trout, and bull trout. Kokanee are spawning and anglers report good trout fishing with egg patterns. Anglers should also keep an eye for Chinook Salmon reds in the Camp Sherman area and avoid disturbing spawning sites. Nymphing with golden stonefly and pale morning dun nymphs has been effective for trout and streamers are always a good bet for bull trout. Anglers should keep an eye out for afternoon stonefly and caddis hatches.

Catch-and-release for trout including bull trout. Fishing is restricted to fly-fishing only upstream of Bridge 99 (Lower Bridge). The Metolius River above Allingham Campground Bridge (NF-1217) closed to angling for the season on November 1 and will reopen May 22, 2026.

Artificial flies and lures permitted below Bridge 99 (Lower Bridge).
