Yup, that's right, some would contend if they are going to put in the effort to endure the cold, then the pay off (in this case the fish) needs to be worthy. Hard to argue with really. The Bull trout on the Metolious are indeed worthy. With bulls that can and do exceed 30 inches, now is a great time to be on the Metolious. So far, we haven't had to brave much in the way of cold weather but it'll come. The usual big streamers have been producing well for the bulls, and as with the entire central Oregon area, the mild winter thus far has produced better than average hatches on a daily basis with BWO's, midges, and even October caddis making up a large portion of the bug activity.
