Fish Report for 5-12-2023

McKenzie River flows came down some

5-12-2023
The Fly Fishers Place

I saw the flows on the McKenzie came down a little too. Good to see. I talked to my friend Gary today who is camped over there and took a guide trip and had a really good day floating the McKenzie and landed about 30 fish.
He said Mega Prince and a Perdigon Dropper were the hot combo. He also reported there was a good March Brown Hatch and they got fish on dries and soft hackles.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Flying Ants soon and that can be one of the most chaotic days of dry fly fishing on the Mckenzie you’ll see each year.
