The Crooked River ODFW electroshocking went for a few days last week and we look forward to hearing the data collected. From the anglers perspective the fishing is really good for trout and whitefish, and we are finding fish on euro nymphs and scuds, zebra midges, winklers, split case PMD, skinny nelson and 2 bits. A dry dropper technique behind the Yellow Sally Chubby (I actually think they eat these for hoppers!) or nymphs with a small OROS indicator or NZ Yarn is great if you’re not euro or drop shotting.
Dry Fly fishing is good too, using Purple Haze and Purple Comparaduns, X Caddis, Corn Fed and Missing Link Caddis, Parachute Adams, Rusty Spinners and small Chubbby’s including the Yellow Sally Chubby I mentioned before.
