The McKenzie River is a hoot now, with good catches of both stocked and wild rainbow and whitefish on the dead drifted nymphs. There have been some hatches of olive caddis #14-16 and larger yellow mayflies #12-14, various stones #6-12 that stimulators and chubby’s will cover, plus the chubby is a great dry dropper rig fly to hang a nymph behind.
Hit them with some white streamers too, especially a small sculpzilla with a conehead. You can strip it or swing it and the hatchery fish will be enticed along with some black wooly buggers and jig streamers.
