EOBOY;n604576 said:Well, I'm already hooked, I just don't have as much knowledge as I would like. I will be down here sometime after the 4th of July to help paint my son monster of a house so it sounds like a deal. If Hobs can get loose we'll drag him out too.

Hey Ryan sounds like you have a plan. There is excellent fly fishing for native fish on the upper middle fork willy, you can get there from 126 by taking the aufderheide freeway to 58. It is one of the most beautiful drives you'll see and there is good fishing along the way on the north middle fork I believe. You are in a good spot, don't forget the mountain lakes near Bend either, huge trout in some of them.
Since you are on the McKenzie i'd focus around there to start, there are some nice holes I know of up there, pm me if you are interested. I'm always down to fly fish!
River flows are way high now and sadly there are no steelhead in the river. Guide we spoke to isn't even fishing for them, there were 12 counted last time I checked at Leaburg :sad: Unless they show up quick i'd focus somewhere else for steelies. Flows should be great in july, should be a great time for you!

Ryan Brennell;n604623 said:Thanks for all the tips, Hobs! The middle fork and north middle just got added to the list. I've actually been playing around on google earth looking for some of those alpine lakes this week. I've seen that famous Oregon film with the monster browns, and I'd make the trip to a good hidden lake in a heart beat. If you have it in your heart to PM a secret spot, I'd repay that favor with a day fishing and a cooler of beer.

Good luck, and let us know how you do.
