The Crooked River seems to be the best fishing going in the region now. There have been good BWO hatches and my customer John reported to me excellent fishing with a small Purple Haze. I also like the Purple Comparadun, olive sparkle dun, film critic and BDE dun on the Crooked. The water is low and clear, so a 12′ 6x leader will be a good way to improve your drift, and an improved drift is a good way to catch more fish.
Swinging soft hackles (purple, olive and PT in #16-18) is an awesome way to approach the hatch and is also pretty good in non-hatch times too.
Firestarters Jigs, Scuds, Perdigons, 2 Bit Hookers, Micro May’s, Black Zebra Midges, Rainbow Warriors, and Amber Psycho Prince are great nymphs to try this week.
