The Crooked is in the best water flow shape we’ve seen in months. 280 cfs today. Love to see it.
It is caddis time on the river for at least the next 10 to 14 days expect to see heavy caddis hatches on the river mixed with some BWO’s and PMD’s and Rusty Spinners.
Hit it hard though with Soft hackles, Sparkle Pupa, X Caddis, Missing Link, Elk Hair Caddis and Center Stage Caddis.
Zebra Midges, Scuds, Perdigons, Rainbow Warriors, Red Copper John and Flashback PT’s will be good nymphs besides the Pupa’s.
