Fun on the McKenzie!

McKenzie River - Coburg, OR

The McKenzie River has been fun for our guides, and they are welcoming the incoming rains. 
We’ve been seeing our best days on perdigons, baby got bead, tungsten leeches and swinging soft hackles and small streamers. If you see a hatch it could be yellow mayflies #12-14, olive or amber caddis #12-16, stoneflies #6-12, drakes #8-10 but we have not had very good dry fly action lately. 
We do most of our guide trips in the Blue River area down to Ben and Kay. I have also been seeing some good catches happening below Leaburg, which is where I suspect we will end up guiding later this summer when the water levels get low on the normal run we guide.
