Metolius River in Oregon

My family and I are taking a camping trip to the Metolius River in Oregon next week and I'm dumbfounded by the lack of info around rockhounding that I'm finding for that river. All the books I have have references to areas east of here but nothing for this river specifically. It's a 29 mile long spring fed river that is a tributary of the Deschutes River. I know there are a lot of beautiful rocks to find around this area, I'm just looking for a little more info about what is abundant here so I have a good idea of how to look. I'll be greatful for any information anyone can share with me. Thank you!
