Crooked River - June 30th, 2004
supplied by: [url "http://www.fisheyesoup.com/redir.php?recKey=22,re"][#0000ff]Fly and Field Outfitters[/#0000ff][/url]
FISHING: Good
It's July!
This river can be a challenge as the weather warms, but if you are crafty and patient, the trip can be worth it. Lots of fish per mile and some very nice ones.
Do not be afraid to throw two fly rigs!!! It works with dries as well as nymphs. A nice soft hackle/emerger/chironomid about 15 inches behind a Parchute Adams can make your day.
Nymphs: 16-20 Pheasant Tails-Flashbacks work best, 14-16 Prince Nymphs, 18 Bubble Top Pheasant Tails, 16 Red Copper Johns, 16-18 Bird's Nests, Zebra Midges, Olive or Brown Woolly Buggers, Muddler Minnows and San Juan Worms!
Dries: Parachute Adams, Comparaduns, Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute PMDs as well as Cripple and Emerger patterns 14s-18s
