This weekend the upper McKenzie really turned on. Hatches of Green Drakes, Yellow Stones, Pale Morning Duns, Caddis and Golden Stones all brought the fish to surface. Fish moved into faster water and began to feed on patterns like Chubby Chernobyls, Green Drakes and Parachute Adams. Fishing and boating the upper McKenzie through class 3-plus white water is a blast, and the next 30 to 60 days is likely to be outstanding.
We shot a quick video of Fish Ladder rapids with my iphone this Sunday morning. Note the new obstruction that posses a bit of an issue for the middle route. You may remember a similar video when Bigfoot made an appearance? Nothing on this run but the phone doesn’t have a much of a wide angle so who knows.
I have a Totem Trader fly rod model number 86FL8B.
I can find no information online, was wondering if anybody had any information?
