Fishing The McKenzie with Jim Martin
Jim appeared at Cabela's in Sprngfield in mid-March. Here is what his seminar was about: "Learn great techniques and tips for fishing the McKenzie River with Jim Martin, member of the Northwest Steelheaders and Coastal Conservation Association. Jim will focus on choosing the right lures and tackle for landing more fish including Spring Chinook. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to meet one of the McKenzie’s most renowned fisherman."

One of the most recognised guides on the Mckenzie River and the state of Oregon.
Arguably one of the best Guides in the State of Oregon, Period. -- Mark Sagettie

January and Febuary Action
Steelhead fishing has been very good on the Siuslaw, Alsea and Siletz rivers. When the river is on the drop and coming into shape the silver bullets have been aggressive. I have taken multiple limits on the Siuslaw since January. It does seem to vary from day to day as to what the method of choice the fish want. So I come prepared for the bait of choice everyday. I landed a nice 14 lb female salmon last week that was fin clipped.
I will be doing trips up on the Wilson River in March and April. Book trips now for these months.
And of course we are ready for the Famous eating Spring Chinook salmon to show up on the McKenzie River starting around the middle May.
Make it a fun day on the River.
