The Crooked River is fabulous!

The Fly Fishers Place
The Crooked River is fabulous and ought to be well into the the Fall. We do expect to see a drop in water levels from 203 cfs today to about 150 and eventually 100 cfs in the next 7 to 10 days as irrigation season ends. Captain Drew from the shop was there yesterday and had great success on a #16 Tan X Caddis and a PT Nymph with a CDC soft hackle collar.
PMD’s are hanging in there strong and BWO’s are getting stronger. Look for Mahogany Duns to mix in as well for the trifecta of mayflies each afternoon. Furminky’s BDE Dun and a Purple Comparadun are 2 you gotta have. Knock Down Duns, Film Critics, Grey Comparaduns, Extended Body Parachutes are great dries for the moment. Super good nymphing action on purple or brown perdigons, stealth PT, jig Napoleon, 2 bit hookers and one of my fave’s is the skinny nelson. I wonder if I like that because I wish I was skinny? Nah, it is a great little fly the fish eat for mayfly or midge nymphs. It is basically a straight hook Zebra Midge with a Tail and Peacock Thorax and you can’t go wrong with Peacock on a fly.
