Troy gave me a good report from the McKenzie River with positive fishing happening in the morning until about 2 or so, and then with the summer sun he is seeing water temps rise and the fish turning off. I would imagine evenings pick up again after the afternoon lull, but we are running all of our trips in the morning and afternoons. He’s been finding good fishing on stoneflies, caddis and leeches. We also like Pedigons, Possie Buggers, TJ Hooker, King Prince and Soft hackles. These are typical staples on the McKenzie for sure. I’d also grab some Squirrel Leeches and Sculpzillas for your next trip
