The Crooked River has a lot of PMD hatches, usually after lunch, about 1 and going to about 3 or 4. The fish want to eat the PMD’s at the surface, even if the hatch is light. 
Nymphing is just excellent almost all day, with Perdigons, Zebra Midges, Split Case PMD, Skinny Nelson and Jig Leeches doing well for us.
