Fresh Douglas County Fishing Reports

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!

Bottom fishing continues to be excellent, along with the new 15 fish limit for our long leader fisheries. Were also looking forward to our summer and fall salmon season to go into full swing.

Want to have a great time with non stop action, along with filling your freezers at the same time. This fishery’s for you.

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!

Great news they are giving us 15 rockfish per person limit on our long leader fishery’s!
