Spring is here on the Mackenzie! The bugs are out and weve had some great days on the water. We have been nymphing to start, and every day, especially those cloudy ones, brings hope for that afternoon dry fly action. March Browns (my favorite hatch of the year) bring a chamce to find the big fish getting silly.

Summer fishing remains solid despite the heat! We are consistantly finding plenty of fish throughout the day. I’m not a numbers guy but during a full day 20+ fish and chances at fish are well within the realm of possibilty. Catching mainly hatchery rainbows with the occasional wild one in the mix. Evenings have been great on the dry fly with more wild fish thrown in. Days open August and early September. Tight lines! Josh These pics are a few from the month of July

The Mckenzie is fishing great! Hatchery fish are in the river and eager to eat. Native trout are doing there thing, have been catcging of mix of fish on varying techniques feom nymphing to the dry. Chris had a great day! Fish on!

The water has finally warmed up to that magical high 40 degree range, touching 50 in the afternoon. Fish are active throughout the day with a smattering of bug hatches giving us a chance to catch some in the dry fly. Nymphing is the go to early in the day, switching to swung wets and dries as the day progresses. Looking forward to the Mckenzie Green Caddis showing up any day now. All in all its a beautiful time of year to see what the Mckenzie river offers. Cone join me!

Caught our first surface fish of the season! Warmer days ahead and the fishing will continue to improve. Nymphing is still the main tactic, but we are starting to hook fish on the swung fly and on the dry! Come fish!
