McKenzie River – Fantastic Scenery – Fabulous Water – Wonderful Fishing – Great Memories
RT enjoyed a magical 2 days on the McKenzie River in late September. We did several different runs on the upper river targeting trout on the fly. Ron did an exceptional job of placing the flies right where fish live and the fish were indeed quite responsive. Both days he landed a bunch of scrappy trout, both wild and of hatchery origin. We used a combination of dries and nymphs with the wets working better in the morning and with the dries proving more productive in the afternoon. On the second morning we decided to mix the plan up […]
Exceptional Fly Fishing for Trout on the Upper McKenzie River near Eugene, Oregon
As usual, we’ve been enjoying some very fun trips on the upper McKenzie River fly fishing for trout. River traffic is way down, in fact, next to nothing with students back in school. Cooler temperatures and colors in the fall leaves all contribute to that special time of year when the afternoon trout action can be phenomenal!
Banner Days on Upper McKenzie River Trout
Fred & Rider scored big on Upper McKenzie Trout on Friday. Fred’s concern that the full moon would kill the bite proved unwarranted. Instead the guys took top spot on our McKenzie trout tips of 2016 as they landed over 50 fish! Definitely one for the books.
Upper McKenzie Surprise Summer Steelhead
Amy was all smiles after deftly landing a surprise Summer Steehead while trout fishing the Upper McKenzie River.
Three Generations of the Elkins Family were represented on their McKenzie River Fishing Trip in July 2016
We got a nice Steelhead & a Salmon in the morning and then switched gears for Rainbow Trout in the afternoon. 6 yr old Taylor put on a bit of a Trout Clinic in the afternoon showing all us old-timers just how it’s done.
Late Arriving McKenzie Springers
Robert K. found some fun action on late-arriving McKenzie River Spring Chinook
Middle Fork Willamette River is still kicking out some nice Springers along with it’s gorgeous Summer Steelhead
After shaking off the loss of a challenging summer steelhead which won the battle by shaking the hook at the last minute, Gary was very pleased to make good on his first back-bounced Willamette Springer.
A 3- Day McKenzie Fishing Adventure Yields Great Rewards
Wes had an absolute blast and brought home not only a lot of stories & memories, but quite a few fillets as we went 12 for 14 over 3 days of salmon and steelhead fishing on his mid-July 2016 McKenzie River Vacation. Truth be told, we spent 1 afternoon with Wes’s 6 year old grandson Taylor who put on a clinic of his own catching McKenzie Rainbows. No doubt Mom & his sisters got an earful once Taylor got home.
Gary opened up a can of Mojo on his recent McKenzie Fishing Adventure
Gary prevailed on 2 out of 3 of the Steelhead we tangled with on his recent McKenzie River Drift.
McKenzie River Trout Fishing – Excellent
Brooke & her Dad enjoyed some fabulous Rainbow Trout Fishing while drifting the Upper McKenzie on Tuesday. The gorgeous scenery was certainly an added bonus to the fun action that at times was fast and furious.
