Fall River, the Crooked River, Metolius and Lower Deschutes are all in good condition for fly fishing. You’ll find blue wing olives on the Metolius from 12-3pm in the afternoon. Now is the time to be there for bull trout with 3 to 4-inch rabbit fur streamers — whitefish patterns.
Anglers on the West side shouldn’t have trouble coming over the pass, but you may see some packed snow near the Metolius. Anglers on the Lower Deschutes are seeing black stones in size 12-14 for surface action. Look for access around Terrebonne and Lower Bridge Rd.
The Crooked River is running clear and it has blue wing olives and lots of fish. Scuds, Prince nymphs and Pheasant tails should produce subsurface action.

My anual trip to Fall creek has been slow the last couple of years. I can’t bring myself to fish the hatchery. I like the upper end. I have never caught a fish at the falls and know there are fish there since I showed up after the fire retardent mess a few years ago. anyway hope the fish are moving upstream this year. any updates will be appriciated.
One last thing. anyone know what the special green drake fly thatis outlawed in the one fly tourament on the Snake ?? I was told and I think witnesed the anglers claim that’s what he was useing and caught 10 fish to my one on the Metollois.
I was pissed.
Thank you in advnce.
Mike
