The Met is a good bet

The Metolius continues to fish and conditions are good. Nymphing stone patterns have produced both trout and a few Bull's too. Match your stone with a mayfly or midge dropper and keep your drifts dead and long. The BWO hatch has been present, but depending on the day and who you talk to, you may find a few different answers. This is one of those rivers where if your downstream or upstream you may have different accounts as to what happened. The hatch should be somewhere around 1pm, so watch closely at this time and don't keep pounding the water in hopes of a fish rising in the pool your fishing. It's best to wait, be patient and don't cast until you spot a rise form.
