The second annual McKenzie River Two-Fly tournament is sponcered by the McKenzie Upper Willamette Chapter 678 of Trout Unlimited and The Caddis Fly Angling Shop.

Teams of two anglers will compete for thousands of dollars in prizes, fishing from McKenzie Drift boats rowed by expert guides.  The fun competition restricts anglers to fish with only two flies for the entire day, during some of the McKenzie River's best fishing of the year.

This year's funds will be used for the removal of a levee and road along a side channel in the north portion of MRT's signature property Green Island, which is located at the confluence of the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers.
