Fall Chinook fishing in many Oregon estuaries has been rated good to excellent. The past few weeks have proven very productive for folks chasing salmon and the encouraging results bode well for the runs which should continue to build well into the late Fall Season.

We enjoyed some great solitude and really pleasant weather yesterday on our McKenzie River fishing trip. We did have some company as there were deer browsing along the shoreline, an osprey looking for a evening entree of Rainbow Trout,and turkey vultures feasting on salmon. Guest Kari Garcia was into a salmon right out of the shoot. She wasted no time muscling in that first brute. She somehow managed to hold onto her lead through most of the drift forcing her good-natured husband Kris to keep playin catch-up ball.

Sometimes running the "Late Program " works wonders.

Not to be outdone by brother Derrick, Wes Jr. teams up with his father to see what Oregon's McKenzie River has to offer. They were not disappointed.
