Metolius River Fly Fishing!  Chris Foster is a Master of Fly Fishing and is generously offering a day of instruction and expert hours of fishing on the beautiful Metolius River in Oregon. 

Chris knows Jason Borger, the stunt caster for Brad Pitt in the movie "A River Runs Through It". Chris learned the famous " Shadow Cast" from Jason when they taught fly casting at The Metolius River Bamboo Rod Festival.  

"The Metolius River, here in Central Oregon, is easily one of the most beautiful rivers in the world; few would dispute that. Anyone who has roamed her banks, whether in search of a large trout or just some solitude, would attest to this being a special place filled with all the dimensions that a pristine riparian habitat should have. It’s just that the Metolious River has more of them. From the crystal clear, turquoise blue swirls of water to lush forested banks the Metolious offers fly fishers a diverse landscape with towering pine-covered mountains and many miles to explore. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can get to stretches of this river that see very few footsteps. All of these elements conspire to create an epic river to fish. 

The Metolious is a fly fishing only river. In Oregon that regulation has several facets that are meant to purify the practice to a few essential rudiments. One thing it takes away is the use of split shot. Fish the Metolious with a nymph rig for five minutes and you’ll begin to understand how squarely this regulation puts you behind the eight ball. The fish hold in channels, deep undercuts, deeper pools, way out in the middle behind lava outcrops. You will have to look at things a little differently to fool fish sub-surface in the Metolious. There are lead-wrapped flies that help along with sink-tip lines and leaders. Advanced mending techniques will allow the flies to get closer – or you can just sit on the bank and wait for the fish to start rising!"
