About McKenzie River
Classic Willamette Valley drift boat river — wild rainbows and native cutthroat in clear, fast water draining the western slope of the Cascades. The McKenzie dory was invented here, and the river’s long-running drift-boat tradition is part of Oregon fly-fishing identity.
Regulations
Wild fish must be released. Steelhead require Combined Angling Tag. Check ODFW regs for seasonal closures on tributaries.
