The McKenzie River trips have been a lot of fun and our guide team is finding some good fish, including natives in the first third of our float, and a good mix of stockers and wild fish and some feisty whitefish too on the rest of the area we usually cover from below McKenzie Bridge to Ben & Kay takeout. 
Our guide Eric has been using a Vampire Leech, Baby Got Bead and Caddis Pupa with a lot of success. Little Red Copper John and Perdigons have been great and running them off a PMX or a Chubby is super good in the afternoon. 
Hardly any mayfly hatches this past week….and just a few smaller stones around. It seems to be a caddis year for the most part. 
We want to remind our readers that fishing for Bull Trout in the McKenzie is not allowed.
