There is a wonderful, but hugely challenging section of the Metolious River, that holds big fish. They hunker down right along the edge of this underwater shelf.
They, and only on their terms, will venture upward to lunge at or tail spash the small insects your see here, at the surface.
You, have to be skilled at placing your fly (identical to the ones they are eating, by the way), Just across the shelf and keep your line and leader at such a length that the fly drifts freely...naturally.
The Metolious Redband Trout must be full of vitamin B6, as they are sooo smart. You make one mistake and you are out of the game. They will splash and feed all around you but will refuse your presentation. This drives my hubby to distraction.
He, will spend the time, study the water, change flies at lighting speed and endeavour to entice those redbands.
I, take pictures. (and learn from his attempts LOL)
They say one fish a day on the Metolious, is a good day. They are right.
