The Crooked River action is quite good, and there have been decent to good PMD hatches most days. With PMD’s always look for Rusty Spinners in the evening. Also, evenings are good for Caddis hatches and Midges. On the Caddis it will be mostly a #16 tan, but some #18 black caddis are good in adult and pupal stages. Purple Haze #16 is a magnificent fly on the Crooked.
Hoppers are worth the time there, and also make a good hopper/dropper combo as the indicator. Purple Chubby is another good one for that.
Nymphing is very good on the euro rod or traditional indicator rod but go with a NZ Wool Indicator or the small Oros Indicator for delicacy and detecting soft takes. Frenchie, Rainbow Warrior, Micro May, Skinny Nelson, Purple Soft Hackle, and a whole lotta a really effective color and bead combos of Perdigons.
