The McKenzie River is fishing very well, especially with small streamers. Troy had my friend Fred on the river with his son Jason and they smacked hard on little olive jig streamers.
October Caddis and some other random smaller Tan and Grey Caddis #12-16 and a few Yellow Mayflies #14 are out and about. We ought to be seeing some hatches of Fall Green Drakes too. Keep an eye open for them.
Leeches and Perdigons are great with the deadly side drift method, and swinging a Caddis Pupa and Soft Hackle is also good just about anytime on the Mckenzie.
