The Crooked River is running cold from the release of water at the bottom of the reservoir, so at least in the section of river form the dam down to about mile post 12 water conditions for safe fishing are going to be good.
There have been some good moments of dry fly action mid day, particularly when the shadows start across the river made by the tall ponderosa pine trees that are along the banks here. Try purple haze or purple comparaduns, upright rusty spinners and PMD’s. Small hoppers, royal wulff and renegades are effective now and can also be a good fly for a dry dropper set up.
Scuds, ray charles, perdigons, fire starter, spanish bullet, soft hackles, pmd split case and skinny nelson or some other micro mayfly type nymphs like 2 bits are simply excellent here. You can tight line, dry dropper, use an indicator like a small or XS Oros or NZ wool and do really well on the Crooked this week.
