Best Overall Trout Fishery!

The Crooked River is still rolling along as probable our best overall trout fishery in terms of numbers and catch rates for the time being. 
This week we saw a ton of BWO and PMD mayflies, although that PMD hatch has to be short lived as we hit November and it will be all BWO’s until colder weather comes later towards Thanksgiving. 
The hatch is best just after lunch and lasts some days for a few hours of good dry fly activity. With the water low, it’s a good idea to fish a spring creek type leader and 6x tippet to fool more fish. 
Comparaduns, Sparkle Duns, Film Critics, BDE Dun, Purple Haze and also Knock Down Duns especially if it’s windy or breezy and the duns wings get blown over during emergence, that bedraggled wing profile can really fire up the trout. 
Nymph fishing is also great, with small Mayfly patterns like a 2 Bit, Micro May, Skinny Nelson and even small PT’s. Scuds and Midges will round out important flies you need for the Crooked now.
