The Crooked River so far is not really turning on. Fishing is a bit slow from what we have seen. Not to say it isn’t worth a try, but don’t go and expect a 20 fish day at this time. I’d guess by March that will be a way different story.
Midges in the late afternoon will be the #1 hatch at this time. Be ready with pupa (Zebra Midges down deep & Winklers near or at the surface), emergers (Century Drive Midge and Palomino) and adults (Griffiths Gnat and Black Midge). Oh, and bring your 7x.
Water is low and cold.
