Bend and Central Oregon Fly Fishing Reports
(Report 1 of 110) Next Report
Metolius River - February 5th, 2012
45°
1850 CFS
Fishing: Great
Always Tough, Always fun
Metolius River
With the steelhead all done on the Deschutes River we decided to head to the Metolius for some trout action. The Metolius this time of year can be a real hit and miss with the cooler weather and not a ton of bugs flying around. Well yesterday there actually was a fair amount of bugs which made the fish very happy. From the time we got there until around 4:30 the fishing was good. There wasn’t enough bugs around where for the trout to eat dries but plenty around to keep them actively feeding. As long as the weather stays like it is now the fishing should continue to fish pretty good. I think those fish over there are like us, they enjoy the sun when its out this time of year.
Owyhee River
The Owyhee River is still running at a great water level. The problem out there right now is the bug hatches have been off and on. the BWO’s are still a bit away from hitting full swing. Fishing should start ramping up good here real soon and remember the skwalla hatch is just over a month away.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
