All the guides were talking about good fishing on the Crooked River this past week. PMD hatches have been fair to good usually after lunch, about 1 and going to about 3 or 4. The fish want to eat the PMD’s at the surface, even if the hatch is light.
Nymphing is just excellent, with Perdigons, Zebra Midges, Split Case PMD, Skinny Nelson and Jig Leeches doing well for us.
It has been a little more crowded on the Crooked lately.
Another way to combat that, is to try early AM or an evening session to dark. Most people go from 9 to 4.
