The Crooked River is great, I am so happy to see this after the lengthy run-off we had this year. 
The Mothers Day Caddis hatch madness is over, but there are a number of good summer caddis hatches to enjoy, along with BWO’s, PMD’s and Midges. The Crooked is the type of river a Renegade or a Purple Haze is going to draw fish to the surface. 
Of course the Crooked River is a nymphing playground, and we’ve been having great success with Perdigons, Rainbow Warrior, Scuds, Zebra Midge, Micro May’s, 2 Bit Hookers, Psycho Prince and Soft Hackles. Indicator, Euro or Drop Shot will be good. Pick your poison (elige tu veneno) mi amigo o amigas!
