The Mckenzie is fishing incredibly well now. Some dry fly action on Chubbies and Caddis and Parachutes but nymphing a leech or jig is responsible for most of our catches now.
We will be running guided trips there for sure until Halloween and maybe a bit longer if we get good weather in early November.
