The Crooked River is a great spot now and there have been nice PMD hatches along with some Midges and Caddis towards evening. Try 2 new flies this time on Jeff’s recommendation…. A Patriot and a Renegade. If you’re older than 45, you have probably used a Renegade somewhere, sometime. Right? The FFP founder, Harry Teel said the Renegade was his favorite dry fly and my dad’s cousin Norm took me fly fishing on the Deschutes and he used a Renegade to convert me from Rooster Tails to Flies! 
Of course the Crooked River is such a great nymphing spot each and every day. Scuds and Zebra Midges and Winkers which can be fished on the surface or deep as a nymph with a Tungsten Beaded fly on the point. 
Perdigons in several colors will be highly effective: purple, brown (Napoleon), olive, orange (Fire Starter) and pearl (rainbow warrior) are all solid and should be played with in different light conditions and before or during different hatch cycles.
