Green Drake Hatch: Metolius River Fly Fishing

[@TestimoniesOfHopeEncouragment]

The Metolius is one of those MUST VISITS if you ever get out west. On a blue sky day you can watch the start of the water come out of the side of a mountain and be spell bound 'till dark. Even IF it's not a blue sky day ... it's a memory of a lifetime! Someone above sure had a creative day making THIS river!

[@thigson189]

Then and Now ... unmatched quality and professionalism. And as usual, I wanna be there. Be safe all, and tight lines.

[@decoeric]

I lived in Basalt CO for a few years and would fish the FryingPan almost everyday. The greatest days were when the Green Drakes were hatching and the surface of the river was exploding with rises and you would catch a fish every cast. Amazing video here!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you for the comment. I agree 100%. Love green drakes!

[@guillermocasanova6951]

Hey, congratulations for all these videos. Thanks to you, i spend all this days at home watching and remembers flyfishing times. Thanks again from Argentina.

[@cachi-7878]

Amazing bugs, amazing fishery, amazing video. Thank you Todd!

[@jeffgardner9006]

Between the beautiful surroundings and the wilyness of the fish there may not be a more satisfying place on earth to catch a trout. Great vid as always. Best in the Biz

[@jeffprice4611]

Thanks for sharing. Excellent cinematography.

[@turbo2275]

One of my favorite places on earth, beautiful work as always.

[@joshduff8989]

Two quality fish is a great day on the Met. Nice video. The cruiser was a nice touch, too.

[@kandhillon1622]

I thought I recognized the FJ...! I think I saw you on the river a few weeks ago when we were looking for a camp spot in my Jeep. More stickers now. Thanks for the advice and chat. I have some unfinished business in that water as also mentioned in comments. 1st timer up there and we will be back. Great video. Got me pumped up for the trip. Almost fell in too..I miss my FJ62. VIVA FJs!!!!

[@DJackson1882]

Much needed break, thanks for the video!

[@joejackson7901]

Another stunning film - thanks!

[@antoniomora1255]

I've just watched the video...the landscapes, the trout taking the fly (Wow!!!),... the harmonious casts in slow motion...the nice music... Once I learnt about the Stendhal Synndrome, when people is surrounded by tons of beauty. I think this might be close to It. A superb video, really. Congratulations.

[@scottking2821]

Once again, magnificent work Todd. Seeing the prey from the trouts eye view is great too. It’s something we all need to be reminded of from time to time.

[@nandayadav3209]

Metolius is such a beautiful river, hard to believe what starts out as a small trickle and balloons into a massive stream few miles downstream. Caught my one and only rainbow there few there few years ago, slipped on the riverbed while trying to reel it in, got fully wet, and lost the fish before I could fully appreciate its beauty. Can't wait to be back, after all this chaos ends.

[@Kimbeattie]

Thanks for this, everybody stay safe in this time of uncertainty, hope to be out fishing in a few month's when we have kicked the s--t out of this virus, thanks again from Canada .

[@David-uj2ms]

Best time to go fishing is now. Nobody on the river.

[@Vagrantization]

Thanks Todd. I think you make some of, if not best fishing movies out there. And you've been an inspiration to me, so thanks for that. I've made quite some my self but gotta long way to go to come to your level, master M.

[@claytonfancher331]

Love that river but it’s always such a challenge.

[@nonewherelistens1906]

Fished it twice. The first time I caught scenery. The second time had one hook-up and one 8 inch redside. According to a guy I talked to earlier, that was a good day. He had two hits and felt he had done well. Humility is plentiful on that river. Gorgeous country.

[@olivierdamonte2652]

Superbe qualité d'image ! Merci 👍👍👍

[@hubsurf1]

Such an epic vid. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@scottlarson4407]

Interesting downstream presentations. Glad I'm not the only guy who falls in.

[@rushthezeppelin]

If you haven't dunked your waders you haven't been fishing long enough

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Nicely done. Wow.

[@andy4811]

caught my first trout on a green drake one the Met. Magical place.

[@CatchMagazine]

Right on. It's not an easy place to fish!

[@andy4811]

That's what I've heard since. Dumb luck and determination, I reckon.

[@sergiomusij9364]

Beautiful video Todd as usual in you. I just tested my new collectable bamboo rod in my back yard and work awesome, can wait to go to upper Owens CA or forks of the Kern to catch some good ones,regards from San Diego CA

[@CatchMagazine]

Sergio Musij Sounds great Sergio! Thanks for watching and congrats with the new bamboo. Have fun with it soon I hope!

[@Chris.A.133]

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever fished on the planet and definitely have alot of unfinished business with that river ......... come prepared and ready for a challenge

[@Paulpoission]

I fell in up there on Monday lol. That’s a chilly one

[@CatchMagazine]

Not fun when falling in the Metolius. Hope you warmed up quick!

[@CatchMagazine]

Sure is. Already washed hands 6 times this morning. Thanks for watching Bruce!

[@notpopebuthope]

[@tonyforeman9502]

I am a big fan of these fishing videos, and this one was good too - once it got past the intro.

[@solowars2858]

Stay safe brother we need you!

[@spencerbass7142]

Excellent!

[@joeshoe4940]

[@noelmemes938]

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Noel for watching!

[@mikejessmax]

[@kevingijsberts672]

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

I want to dive the Metolius, I swear a ton of fish are laying under floating meadows.

[@pescaconJesús]

Saludos eselente pesca

[@ArroyoGuitars]

Nice composition, Americana feel, fishing starts at 2:25

[@jennacall2640]

How do I contact you about musician info on this video??

[@CatchMagazine]

Hi Jenna, Let me know via email... I'll track down any artists I've worked with for ya. [e-mail]

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nothing quite like throwing a # 10 dry to feeding fish , ya whooo

[@donlundy6291]

cool!!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Don!

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Genius

[@КонстантинЛебедев-х1ю]

Спасибо )

[@scottking2821]

Something that always intrigues me is, a lot of North American fishing is done downstream, whereas in Australia we almost exclusively fish upstream, or cross current.

[@straubdavid9]

Depends on the fly you are using and the situation. Most of the flyfishers I know fish upstream YMMV. Take care from Pennsylvania USA.

[@TheEmiliodiaz]

💯

[@dynamicphotography_]

I have a Metolius River Fly-Fishing video if anybody is interested. Not as good as this one obviously, but different.

[@bargauze9599]

I pooped in my pants

[@ianboston2218]

Curious why you were fishing downstream?

[@andrewchapman2491]

easier on that stream to drop flies down to feeding fish then to work upstream towards rising fish. really intense wading in that river as well

[@edriscullenid]

YOGYAKARTA HADIR

[@503flyguys4]

Yes great video but… If you come please be respectful this is a fragile river in a fragile ecosystem. Also save yourself about three years worth of struggle and learning stop by the fly fishers place in sisters Oregon and ask for Jeff Perin he will get you dialed in on the right places to be

[@Jaimelapoesie]

Trout porn at it's finest

[@nemanjagradinac5419]

I miss your short videos with actual substance and documentation of characters & rivers, rather then the obviously set up chronicles and just the cinematic b rolls etc. shame the last few of your videos are like all like this. But again, okay cinematography, that's about it. Atb to you
