The Crooked River bumped back up to 700+ and I am a little bummed to see that because that is going back to what I consider to be high flow range. Is it fishable? yes it is, but wading it tricky and the waters are murky. Let’s hope the river levels retreat back under 400 later this week.
Leeches, Buggers, Mini Gulp, Rainbow Warrior, Pink or Orange Bead Jigs, Orange Scud. The trend is brighter flies and some bigger flies so they can see them easier in the darker waters.
I do expect to see excellent BWO hatches coming on strong now and for the next 6 or 7 weeks. So unless the water levels from the dam get really wild, get ready for good dry fly opportunities on the Crooked.
Don’t forget our spring special guide trips from now until 4/21/24 for $395 for up to 3 anglers on the Crooked and Fall River.
