I fished it last Thursday and Friday, only a few fisherman and only a few bugs in the air: caddis, green drake (seemed early for the drakes but I'm pretty sure that's what they were). I saw a guy hog out about an 8 lb. Dolly from beneath the Allingham brigde on a big leech. I saw very little, if anything, rise in two days. I nymphed (bead head somethings) and did poorly. Check out Camp Sherman stores' website, they post the hatch and definitley stop in and talk to them. They are always real helpful but make sure you buy a few flys. Best of luck.

You should find that you're getting into prime Green Drake time. Place is very important, for this hatch you'll most likely do better if you fish no higher than Canyon Creek.
Consider the Pioneer Ford area for big bows when the drakes hatch in the afternoon. Overcast days can be better for the hatch. You may also want to hike downstream of Br.99 and see what's happening. Try a deeply fished green drake nymph in the hours before the the hatch.
Finally, let us know how you did!
PS. it's spelled Metolius.
