The Crooked River is dropping now at the end of irrigation season
10-1-2023
The Fly Fishers Place
The Crooked River is dropping now at the end of irrigation season and is down to 167 cfs, and we’d expect to see it around 100 cfs by the 3rd week of October.
Still a good mix of PMD and BWO and Mahogany Duns. I’ve said before that the Furminsky’s BDE Dun and the PMD Extended Body Cut Wing are both excellent duns to fish. We have an Extended Body Adams and Extended Body Mahogany Dun that are awesome too.
Nymphing is good, some Euro stuff and some NZ Wool Indicator stuff, but you will see as the water drops more the NZ Indicator becomes better and better to get a drift without catching weeds as much. Zebra Midges, Winklers (fish them deep or at the surface), Perdigons, Micro Mayflies (BWO) Skinny Nelson (one of my personal favorites for years) and Scuds.
