Steve, Troy, Tonn and Michael all reported to me this week about the Mckenzie River and that is really helpful to get that intel fresh form the river to this report. The river is lower this summer by 250 cfs than this same week last year. They all said the majority of the fish were coming on Perdigons, Walts Worms, Frenchies and Jig Leeches either run as a Euro/Side Drift Rig or as a dropper under a dry fly. Michael liked to use the smallest dry fly he can get away with a perdigon dropper, so that is always a bit of a balancing act to not get your dry fly sucked under in fast currents with a tungsten bead trailed off it! Another approach is a Chubby or Hippie Stomper as they have plenty of Foam to support a bead in many cases. And, all of our Elk Hair Caddis we sell at FFP are tied with Foam Bodies to aid floatation FYI.
