Metolius River, OR

I pride myself on knowing this river. Some days it is hot and other days it is very difficult. This particular trip it was hot as heck. The first night I went 10/14 landing a brown, whitefish, and rainbow in the same hole within 10 cast. While at camp a guy from Colorado saw me tying up some flys and came to talk story with me. He had fish for 3 days with no luck. I told him to find me the next day and I promised to catch him not just a fish but a trout. Within 15 minutes of working Doug's hole he lost a fish and about 5 minutes latter he landed this nice 17" red band.
