We’ve been having great days drifting the McKenzie River! A tough one to fish from the bank, a drift boat and a friend to share rowing, or a guided trip is the best way to experience the river as it is meant to be. It is a challenge to row, with some dangerous areas so make sure you know you have the experience and equipment to succeed. 
As for the fishing, the FFP guide team (Troy, Steve, Tonn and Mike are the main 4 who run the McKenzie) are doing best on Perdigons, Jigs, Mega Prince, TJ’s, Soft Hackle PT, Oct Caddis, Girdle Bugs and Soccer Moms.
