Default Metolius advice?

Going to be up at Black Butte this weekend. Anybody have any scoop on what's hitting on the Metolius? Any green drake action yet?
Any nymphs you would suggest trying?
I'll do the obligatory stop at the Camp Sherman shop but just wondered if anyone had fished there recently.
Thanks.

Thumbs up Re: Metolius advice?

Yes, as of 10 days ago, Green Drake are up in the air. Both dries and nymphs worked.

Enjoy it! How could you not?

Thanks Eben, maybe with the cold snap it will still be going. I've never hit it just right.

Just as a quick follow up... the fishing this past weekend on the Metolius seemed fairly quiet. I did manage to hook two and land one in the couple hours I fished Saturday late afternoon nymphing.
Camp Sherman store said the green drake hatch had not really begun yet but was expecting it to get going in the next two weeks.

That hatch is as regular as clockwork, mid-June is always prime, although some reaches of the Metolius will see more drakes than others - i.e. the Upper River is not prime drake country.
