We Don’t Provide Guiding or Lessons On The Metolius River But It Sure Is Beautiful
Having Fun: Expert Fly Fishing On The Metolius River
“It didn’t matter that it was early March, because we had an excellent day out on the Metolius River! Stephen Avery, a local fly fishing expert, (who provides guiding and lessons on other rivers in Central Oregon and beyond) treated us to a show! He was teaching us about the river, fish habitats, conservation and so much more.”
“We definitely had a great time – and so did Stephen, as you can see from the video! (And yes, that Bull Trout he got really was THAT huge!) Check it out as we take a little trek to find the perfect spot and our guy, Stephen, “buried the hook” and pulled in THE BIG ONE!”
Metolius River, Oregon
A mere few small holes create a natural spring where the river rushes out from beneath the ground. The mountain spring water is cold, very cold… about 50 degrees. It is one of the clearest and coldest rivers in Central Oregon making it the perfect home to some of the most endangered fish in the United States. Caring for our rivers is very important to us. (Why not have a look at some of the points listed below regarding regulations and responsible fishing on the Metolius River?)
Being A Responsible Angler
Fishing In Oregon’s rivers and streams, lakes and ponds comes with some responsibilities. To help ensure viable fish population and diverse fishing opportunities, ODFW encourages anglers to help care for the state’s fish and their habitats.
Catch-and-release fishing is one way to help conserve a valuable resource for other anglers to enjoy in the future. Catch-and-release fishing can also reduce the need for future regulations, and carefully released fish counted on the spawning grounds can help ensure adequate escapement for conservation and management goals.
Avoiding the spread of invasive species can help prevent environmental and economic damage. ALl water users should properly clean their boats, and fishing or swimming gear to reduce the risks from zebra mussels, quagga mussels and other invasive species. Anglers should never use live fish for bait, and never release live fish into lakes or rivers.
