I understand. The Metolius is now one of the most protected areas in Oregon with a diverse native fish population (recent legislation was passed to further protect it from development). I am sure you understand why after visiting the river. I did enjoy your video. I noticed on your web site you also visited the Deschutes Brewery (Oregon's second best place to visit). Great fishing & great beer...

Great vid! Metolius is still as of this day one of my favorite (& also the most frustrating) spots to fish! Thanks for sharing!

You are correct, I made a mistake. I got a bit excited with my 1st large bull trout. Thanks for watching my video.

Hey, way to toss a threatened species onto the bank and photograph it. Does your gear shop sell a book on fishing ethics?
