McKenzie River spring trip

Sunday, April 22 -- Trout Unlimited Chapter 678 hit the McKenzie River just east of Springfield Oregon. We were hoping to find some PIT tagged wild trout, but managed to only catch some small cutthroats without tags. Lots of March Browns on the water though. Here are some pics:

March Brown McKenzie River trip photos

Last weekend, Trout Unlimited Chapter 678 out of Eugene, Oregon headed to the McKenzie River to chase wild trout and the prolific March Brown hatch. It was also a good excuse to bring out the PIT (passive integrated responder) tag readers and see if any of ODFW's tagged wild trout made it down to the lower McKenzie. We launched at Hayden Bridge and rode down to Armitage, stopping along the way at likely hot spots. We didn't see a ton of action, but it was a great day on the water. Look for more March Browns to be coming up soon -- and more trips from Trout Unlimited McKenzie Upper Willamette Chapter 678.
