The Crooked River has been good but not quite as red hot as it was 2 weeks ago. Water levels are creeping up to near 200 cfs now as irrigation needs are starting down river.
So far the only real hatches of note are Blue Wing Olives and Midges and most days you can get a good dry fly session to enjoy! Purple Haze #16-20, Adams #18, BDE Dun #18, Knock Down Dun #18, Film Critic #18 and Griffiths Gnats #20-22.
What has been a top producer on the Crooked is a Soft Hackle. It seems the color and size have been all over the boards, with Olive, Pheasant Tail and Hares Ear taking the top spots.
As a true nymph, Frenchie #16-18, Jig Napoleon #16-18, Zebra Midge #18-20, Scuds and Ray Charles #16-20, Cased Caddis #14-16, Fire Starter #16, PMD Split Case Emerger #16-18.
