We’ve had an early start on the McKenzie River and it’s been fun to be on the river and the fishing is pretty good with some larger caddis and March Browns so far.
I know a few of early guide trips have been 100% nymph.
The river conditions are good now, but by mid-summer we expect to see some pretty low water conditions so get out there in April, May and June.
