The Mckenzie River is our #1 River trip experience now. I said in the last report that dry fly action was non existent or minimal and my friend Katherine and a couple of my guides wrote me and said not so fast Jeff! Fish have indeed been coming up to the dry fly, including Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Adams and Purple Haze, Light Cahills and Chubby’s. SO there, fish a dang dry and enjoy the hatch.
But the best fishing has been on black leeches and jigs and some streamers like the Baby Fat and Sculpins and Soccer Mom.
