Crooked River. Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock. When is is going to drop? It’s still running 175 cfs and is in fine shape. Will the BOR and Ochocco Irrigation and the State and Water Groups (like Water Watch) figure out a way to keep it at 50 cfs and not drop to 10? God I hope so. Please support Water Watch, it is an obscure little group that is truly working hard to protect every place wet in Oregon. Send them $20, or join. Go to there fundraiser dinner in Portland Sept 24th (i’ll be there) and let them know you appreciate the work they do in our basin here.
At 50, or at 175 cfs we will have a fishery. If it stays in the safe zone look for PMD’s #16-18, BWO’s #18-20, Mahogany Duns #16, Midges #20-24, Scuds #12-18 and a myriad of Euro Nymphs #14-18 to do the trick.
Would I go today? Yep. It is fishing just like normal now.
