tie1on 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Does anyone know if the green drakes are hatching on the Metouleous River in Central Oregon? And if so...does anyone have a good pattern to match the hatch? I fished with my cousin a couple a years ago and we found the GD hatch going strong so we tied up several different patterns, but nothing worked. Then this old man came by and gave us each a GD fly but mine was a little different and my cousin caught a huge rainbow and I didn't even get one look...so I need a perfect match...(if that's possible) Thanks :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the West, Green Drake is the common name for Drunella grandis, D. doddsi, and D. spinifera. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
