Lots of choices when it comes to Fall Fishing
Last week I had the priviledge of introducing a couple guys from out-of-town to the McKenzie River. They were looking for a couple days of mostly fly fishing and got to see quite a bit of river as we did about 10 miles each day. Day 1 we fished the upper river and gave the guys a few good rides through some white water with a chance to enjoy the scenic majesty along the river. Fall is a wonderful time of year with perfect temperatures and great color emerging in the riparian vegetation as Big Leaf Maples show in […]

Though I’m not a huge fan of relying strictly on statistics, we certainly can identify patterns and utilize the numbers as a useful tool in planning where and when to commit specific angling efforts.

McKenzie River Trout Fishing – Great Late Summer – Early Fall Fun
Late Summer – Early Fall Trout provide great action for fishermen of any level on the majestic McKenzie near Eugene, Oregon. Matt Dickerson and his buddy Dave O’Hara set an all-time record for trout landed on a single day’s drift while enjoying the gorgeous scenery along the Upper McKenzie River last week. Dave & Matt landed over 120 trout, all on flies, wet & dry. The guys put on an amazing fly fishing clinic, the likes of which may never again be duplicated. At trip’s end, Matt complained of a sore arm, but tempered the complaint adding that it was […]
