Our staff peeps Drew and Sequoia have been putting in some time on the Crooked and it is fishing nicely and running at a beautiful 100 cfs. They were getting quite a few fish on a small October Caddis colored Chubby! it was used as his indicator but the fish loved it. How cool is that.
At 100 cfs the nymphing can take on many forms, including euro, drop shot, indicator, dry dropper and swinging.
Mainly Zebra Midges, Rainbow Warriors, Skinny Nelson, Micro Mayflies and 2 Bit Hookers to match the size and color of the Baetis nymphs, but Scuds, Winklers, Leeches, Red Copper Johns and PT’s will be good too.
Afternoon hatch times will get fish looking up to BWO #18, Purple Haze, Orange Foam Elk Hair Caddis, Stimultors and very small Black Midges #20-24. 6x and 7x tippet are recommended for the BWO and Midge hatches.
Don’t forget that we are offering a Fall Guide Trip special on the Crooked and Fall for $400 for up to 3 anglers to share a guide.
