McKenzie River Fly Fishing Report
Guide Report from Friday, June 5.
Small Stream Outfitters was on the middle McKenzie today and had some great action. Sporadic hatches of #12-14 brown caddis, golden stones, salmon flies, and large cahills provided some good dry fly action in the morning and evening. During the day we covered lots of water by swinging streamers. The streamers worked like magic and kept us busy during the middle of the day . The majority of rainbows were of the hatchery variety, but we did land a couple small native cutthroats and one trophy native rainbow. This big redside measured 19″ and is our biggest McKenzie Rainbow of the season to date. We’ve caught these big bows up to 22″ in past years and know these big trophies are still out there.
We’ll be on the water again Sunday and are hoping to run in to a few more of these big boys.
Weather: 60-70 degrees, mostly cloudy, variable winds and a few sprinkles
Time: 9am-6pm
