The Crooked River has been outstanding this summer and we see this trend continuing. Our best fishing has been on many different brightly colored perdigons, but not ignoring the match the natural drift of smaller mayfly nymphs and scuds and midges. 
Afternoon shadows and evening light will usually get the PMD’s, Mahogany Duns and Tan Caddis hatches moving and that is a good time to fish dries, and also the Crooked is a decent Grasshopper spot, so a Tan or Yellow hopper is a good fly to fish there too.
