The Crooked River opens up again TODAY 11/1/22. Water Levels are coming up to meet the Conservation Agreement, and today are running 23 cfs but planning to see 50 cfs very soon.
I want to emphasize that when I started fishing the Crooked in the 80’s and 90’s we saw many winters where the river ran as low as 7 cfs, and the river and the fish were truly okay. That was a long time ago when the pressure was darn near non-existent and I applaud ODFW for the emergency closure this year when the water was dropped to around 10 CFS.
Getting back to the river you’ll want Purple Haze #16-18, BWO’s nymphs, emergers, cripples and duns#18-20. (I love the Furminky’s BDE BWO Dun at the Crooked). Skinny Nelson, Perdigons, Zebra Midges, Rainbow Warriors, Winklers, Scuds and Orange Psycho Princ
