Beautiful Fall weather continues to hang around, and fishing the McKenzie has been very good. Afternoons are best. The warmest part of the day seems to spurn more activity. October Caddis 4pm-dark, smaller caddis 12pm-dark, Blue Winged Olives 3pm-dark.

Mr. Bull Trout is heading back down river after a tussle with his friends on the spawning beds. He has undoubtable had a run in with a chinook or two as well.
Rainbows are in great shape this time of year.
great pic of the Bull trout, or as some like to call it, a Ziller Brookie 😉
I’ve never fished the Mckenzie before. where is a good place to star for a wade fisherman?
