The Crooked is coming out of the winter slumber and continued to impress us this week with great nymphing action. Not much of a hatch so far, but I would be expecting midges #22 and Blue Wing Olives #18 to come on fast with warmer spring days. I would put the Crooked on the Spring Break plan!
Right now the fish are loving small perdigons (Brown, Olive and Purple), Zebra Midges, Midge Winklers and Soft Hackle Pheasant Tails.
I suspect we will see good fishing on the Crooked River for a while, maybe into August like last year.
Don’t forget our Spring Special Guide Trips for $375 for 1 to 3 people (to split $375 2 or 3 ways!)
