The Crooked River looks like it has found the stable summer flow at 255 cfs. Fishing is good, but we did see a couple of days of the fish being a bit off when the flows increased.
Caddis hatches are the main event, with X Caddis, Corn Fed, Missing Link and Elk Hair Caddis all great flies in a Tan or Olive #16, and some Black #18 too. Purple Haze and Parachutes Adams are good now too. Who doesn’t like a Parachute Adams?!!
And of course the nymph fishing with Rainbow Warriors and Olive Perdigons with an Orange Hot Spot is just amazing now. Scuds, Zebra Midges and 2 Bit Hookers are 3 others to use for sure.
Guided trips available.
