Gorgeous Late-Arriving Spring Chinook Continue to Show alongside Tail-Walking Summer-Run Steelhead
Super high quality fish are still in the mix on our MF Willamette & McKenzie Salmon/Steelhead Combo Trips. Always a pleasure to connect with fish like these relatively late in the season.
Spring Chinook & Summer Steehead Combo Trips
Dwight and Milton got to take home some quality McKenzie River tablefare.
McKenzie River Offers a Hat-Trick of Fishing Options
In addition to some excellent fly fishing for trout, we now have Spring Chinook Salmon & feisty Summer Steelhead all producing some fun summer fishing action on the McKenzie. This past week, Julie and her Dad celebrated a combination Birthday-Fathers Day with a salmon/steelhead combo trip. In addition to Julie’s big steelhead, they landed several nice Springers as well. Suffice to say, their Father’s Day BBQ was plentiful!
Spring Chinook – Summer Steelhead – Trout Now Showing on the McKenzie River & Middle Fork Willamette
Gary was happy to land a feisty Summer Steelhead & a fresh Spring Chinook on Tuesday’s trip down the McKenzie River. Action should continue to heat up in the weeks to come through June & July. On yesterday’s trout trip we landed 21 Rainbows on about 35 takes on wets & dries. Great trout fishing should also continue through the summer.
The Oregon South Coast Rivers Produce Nice Catches When River Levels Cooperate
Pat & Julia are all smiles with a portion of their limit from last Saturday’s South-coast fishing excursion
Elk & Sixes River Chinook Fishing – Crankin’ in the Big Boys
Fishing was great on the Elk & Sixes Rivers for a couple weeks or more while we had enough water in the rivers to invite the returning salmon and to float drift boats. While Seattle and Portland have been hammered with rain, recent storms have somehow missed Port Orford causing me to have to reschedule this weeks’ trips due to low water levels in the rivers. Bring on the Rain!
Oregon’s Elk & Sixes Rivers Continue to Crank Out Hard-Fighting Fatties
Due to recent rains the Elk & Sixes Rivers are enjoying sustained, reasonable water levels and the fish are responding favorably.
With rainfall and consequent rising rivers, our Elk-Sixes fishing for big Chinook has been anything but disappointing
Hank can certainly attest to the size and power of these late-run fish!
