Very Scenic Upper McKenzie Trout Trips

Comments are off for this post.

Our very scenic Upper McKenzie Trout Trips are producing some really nice fish.  The fish are always a great bonus on these extremely beautiful upper river drifts.  The drift boat is the vessel of choice as it handles very well as we pick our way through the riffles and rapids which characterize the Upper McKenzie.  Many folks choose fly fishing as their preferred method of targeting the trout, but we can certainly adapt to other gear including spinners or micro plugs.  Fly fishing novices are often surprised however, by their success with the flies.

Deer and Bald Eagles are among the wildlife we often encounter on these scenic drifts.  In fact recently, while releasing a wild trout, a Bald Eagle made two attempts right in front of us at securing what he hoped would be an easy lunch.  To have a mature Bald Eagle diving in the river just 15 feet off your boat is pretty exciting.
