Idaho Fish Report
The Crooked River is pretty good

The Crooked River is pretty good, running much lower this season (so far) than usual. That makes wading easier. Today the flow is 124 cfs. I don’t think the reservoir will even hit 50% so the low water is here to stay this year.
Trout are looking up for Blue Wing Olive hatches mid afternoon and we are seeing the start of the Mother’s Day Caddis now. When exactly the massive, blizzard like caddis flights will occur is anyone’s guess but my guess is it’ll be soon. Time for Peacock Soft Hackles, Tan and Green Caddis Pupa, X Caddis and Henryville’s.
Euro nymphing has been red hot for us out on the Crooked.
