Trip reports

2 - GOOD on 05/29/2008
Don't let the high water keep you from fishing. The afternoons have been good on dry flies on the lower McKenzie. Hendricks Bridge to Hayden Bridge is a great float. Today our 6 boats landed 3 steelhead along with many native and hatchery trout. (05/29/2008 at 08:56 PM by aaronhelfrich)

Descriptions

1. The McKenzie river begins the flow in the glaciers and snowfields and ends in the mighty Willamette River. There is a strong population of wild redband rainbows, wild cutthroats, and a small population of bull trout as well. The McKenzie fly fishes well yearlong and has a catch and release requirement. Fly fishing for steelhead is productive as well and the heavy action picks up in the fall and stays good until winter.
