Since I have been home, I have not heard a peep about the Crooked River other than I know it is back open to fishing for winter and is running a nice 52 cfs. I would assume it is just fine and the usual suspects of Zebra Midges, Tiny Perdigons, Scuds, Winklers, Micro May’s and Skinny Nelson’s ought to be good. You could approach with the Euro Leader set up and fish a short 3 to 4 foot tippet and I’d recommend one fly to avoid drag and snags on the weed beds, or fish a NZ Wool Indicator and likely again one fly just to keep the system clean from the weed beds.
This is usually egg time on the Crooked with whitefish spawn. But I can’t confirm that it has happened quite yet.
