Snow on South Fork of McKenzie Didn't Discourage Him
Despite winter's lingering grip on the upper portions of
the McKenzie and Willamette rivers and their tributaries, a
heavy turnout of anglers found plenty of hungry fish Satur
day on the opening d,ay of trout season.
Fat rainbow released early this week by the State Game
Commission accounted for most of the good action on the
McKenzie and its feeder streams. Two of the river's larger
tributaries, Blue River and the South Fork, yielded numerous
limit catches to fishermen who found the pockets where
hatchery trout were gathered.
"It's amazing how many fishermen are out despite the
terrible weather," remarked state police officer Bob Steele,
who has seen many seasons come and go on the McKenzie.
"I don't think the turnout would've been much bigger on a
sunny day. And they seem to be catching fish nearly everywhere."
Though most stream were fairly clear but somewhat higher
and much colder than desirable and most fishermen relied on"
salmon eggs and worms to get their trout, bugs were hatching. ,
Several hatches of blue uprights and March browns were re
ported along the McKenzie and on Blue River.
On the lower McKenzie, Bob Paddock, Al Rodakouski and
Lcn Housworth used wet flics for a limit of rainbows up to
13 inches on a boat run from Oak Point to Haydcn bridge.
They also snapped several leaders on larger fish In this stretch,
which will not be stocked with hatchery fish until later In
the season. ,
On the middle fork of the Willamette, bank anglers at the
upper end of Hills Creek reservoir piled up good catches with
many of the rainbows ranging from 12 to 18 inches. Fisher
men there fared better than those who trolled spinners and
worms. Action also was slower in the river above the reservoir.
