The McKenzie River is starting to get a little thin in places for running the boat. No problem, but it is louder on the bottom of an Aluminum Drift Boat when it’s grinding over the river rocks in the shallow riffles. The fishing is quite good for us on dry droppers, and tightline Euro jig set ups. 
Caddis and Stonefly hatches seem about average for mid-summer, and there have been enough good mayfly hatch days to highly recommend fishing Light Cahill’s and larger Parachute Adams. The McKenzie is always a great summer guide trip option and since you can fish from the boat it is really nice for people with limited wading abilities.
