The Crooked River is stabilized at 106 cfs and the fishing is super good with a nice hatch of mayflies in the afternoon. Nice to see the PMD hatch holding on and mixing in with increasing numbers of BWO’s. I am a big fan of that Furminsky’s BDE Dun, Purple Comparaduns and the Knock Down Dun, and a #18 Extended Body Cut Wing PMD is a wonderful dry fly to match when the masking hatch is occurring.
Nymph action is the best, and PT’s, Zebra Midges, Olive or Black 2 Bit Hookers, Skinny Nelson, Amber Psycho Prince and small Perdigons.
There is a good reason in low water with the lanes in the weed beds to use an indicator and a single fly. Euro nymph in the runs where is deepens up and has some lengths to cover, and be more precise around the weed lanes where a lot of the fish are hanging out for cover and food.
