FISHING: Good
The crooked river is one of many trout streams within an hour of our Fly Shop. This is the only river in the state with numbers around 3500-4000 fish per mile..To mention the obvoius its chalk full of trout. Expect to see good size caddis hatchs. The GRANNON caddis shows at the start of good weather. We have been doing well with X-Caddis, Spent Caddis, Slick water caddis and a variety of other drys. The midge population is getting active as well. Red, black, and green midges pretty much cover those color schemes. We have some new patterns to match these hatchs well. If the drys aren't productive try wet flys fished under a strike indicator. Flashy pheasant tails, mayfly emergers, caddis nymphs, and usually a streamer technique will fool these desert rainbows. The water levels have stablized some so the fishing should pick up again. We have had great reports on the caddis hatch.. Time is now to catch fish on the surface after a tough winter on the Crooked.
