Mckenzie-Upper Willamette spring outing

Somehow, we managed to pick the date of the latest snowfall in over 50 years in the southern valley for our spring trip.  I won’t waste a bunch of words on the weather.  It wasn’t good–snow, rain, wind, hail, enough said.  The fishing was fairly slow too.  The caddis were in hiding but small fish would key in on the March Browns that were popping off when the sun would break through the clouds.  Near the end of the drift we got into some fairly nice fish though:

Lower Mckenzie Rainbow

A pretty decent fish considering the adverse conditions. A couple minutes later we picked up this nice cutt:

Nice Lower Mckenzie Cutthroat

After those fish, were were satisfied and got off the water as quickly as possible!
