We have had a couple of damp days of late on the McKenzie River and mayflies have actually been hatching daily. Green Drakes and Pale Morning Duns have actually been out in great numbers. In addition little brown and yellow stoneflies, little caddis and a couple of salmon flies have actually been around.
Need to have patterns for early June consist of the following:
Parachute Adams
Parachute Green Drake
Gunnison Green Drake
Tilt Wing PMD
Thorax PMD
Missing Link Honey Ant
All of the above are mid sized dries, it’s a good time to have some great dry fly fishing prior to the summer season heat returns.
Enjoy!
