Seasons of the Metolius

Ever wondered about the life of a tiny insect? Or cared about how cold water bubbles up, or the effect a fallen tree has on a river and the cycles of other nearby life? John Judy reveals all of this and more, and applies it to the reader's own water — be it a creek, river, canal, pond, reservoir, or lake.

Seasons of the Metolius chronicles 30 years of study, writing and fly fishing on the crystal clear Metolious River in Central Oregon. This book provides great winter reading for the shut-in fly angler or great summer reading for anyone who loves the outdoors.

John Judy describes how a beautiful riparian environment both changes and stays the same over the years. This look at nature chronicles John's 30 years of study, writing and fly fishing his beloved home water.

Judy has been fly fishing for a lifetime and a river guide for over 20 years, specializing in float trips on the Deschutes River.
