It was an incredibly peaceful evening away from the crowds down on the lower river.  We both took out our 7&#8242;  9&#8243;  4 wt bamboo rods for the evening.  A few BWOs starting showing up about 5:00 PM and then some PMDs about 30 minutes later.  No fish seemed to want to come to the surface but we did well swinging PMD soft hackles&#8230;Thanks John Kreft for your great PMD Soft Hackle Pattern.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170006-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170006-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170006-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170006-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>waiting for the evening hatch&#8230;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170015-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170015-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170015-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170015-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Mary Ann working a nice riffle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170012-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170012-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170012-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170012-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption> A Nicely Colored Rainbow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170019-580x326-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170019-580x326-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170019-580x326-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bamboopursuits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/P7170019-580x326-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption>John Kreft&#8217;s #16 PMD Soft Hackle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Ann and I had to get out of the house for a few hours and managed to sneak out to the Metolius River yesterday evening for two hours.
