The Fly Fishers Place

The Crooked is very low, but fishing okay in the upper 4 miles below the dam. It is hard to watch the demise of the Crooked as it is a place I have fished since the 80’s and simply can’t believe the water crisis we are in. The next month is going to be okay, say even safe to fish the river. After that, it will depend on what BOR decides to release from August to Mid October when they have a mandate to release at least 50 cfs for the fish. PMD’s, Caddis, Mahogany Duns, Renegades, Purple Haze and the Larimer’s Yellow Sally which they either like for an attractor or eat it as a small grasshopper.
Plenty of nymphing options of course, including skinny nelson, zebra midges, scuds, frenchie, perdigons and flashback PT’s.
