Early June Action

Fishing the last couple days was tough. My guests were good fishermen with good patience and great attitudes. On Thursday we landed 3 on the McKenzie, two Springers and a steelhead. The steelhead stole the show, measuring a solid 33 inches at about 12lbs. The acrobatics during the fight were definitely video worthy, but a heavy downpour precluded any camera use. On Friday we had managed only one Spring Chinook by 10:30 am on the Mckenzie River. To mix things up, we pulled out and jumped over to the Willamette for the afternoon. It was a welcome change of scenery, and by pull-out time we had evened the score with one more hatchery Springer in the box.
