There is no rush to get out there on these cold mornings. I kept close track of water temps yesterday with my new Fishpond Digital Thermometer and there was a swing from 45-50 degrees between 830 and 5pm. Once water temps moved to 47-48 degrees, Grannom Caddis, Blue Winged Olives, and March Browns were present. Needless to say fishing improved. Nymphing was the most productive method for us yesterday.
Water levels remain excellent, and the forecast is for cold nights to end in the next couple of days. Fishing should really ramp up when we see nighttime temps move into the 40s.
Best Fly Patterns to have on hand for the McKenzie and Willamette include: Jigged Girdle Bug, CDC Hot Spot Pheasant Tail, Crostons Full Metal Jacket, Split Case BWO, Extended Body March Brown, Hi and Dry Western March Brown, Morrishs May Day March Brown, Beadhead March Brown Emerger, March Brown Soft Hackle Spider, Klinkhammer March Brown, Possie Bugger, Antonios Superman Caddis, Black Caddis, Burkus Bearback Rider.
