The McKenzie River Experience
Your Day on the McKenzie
We meet on the river and travel the riffles and runs of the McKenzie in a whitewater drift boat, dry and secure, covering 7-9 miles of magnificent scenery in our 8-hour fishing day. The boat will take you to willing fish that wading anglers cannot possibly reach, maximizing your fish-catching opportunities. All fly fishing gear and lunch are provided. More questions?

A Floating Classroom
Think of Michael's drift boat as a floating classroom with many opportunities to learn about the McKenzie's fish and where they prefer to hold, the river's aquatic life, its insects, and organisms fish eat. You will learn about all 3 effective fly fishing techniques, how to rig and fish 2 flies at once, and the fly patterns that catch fish. More questions?
