The McKenzie is smokey and that is where the 2 fires that are contributing much of our mess is happening. The drifts where we go is well downstream of the fires and the fishing is quite good on nymphs and streamers fished from the boat. But the at this time the smoke is shitty. It will get better but we need a rainy day to hit that area soon.
