The Crooked River continues to impress us this season as an excellent fishing spot. Most of the mornings and afternoons are spent with a nymphs, and you can approach that in more than one way. (1) Swing a soft hackle.(2)  Fish a Hopper-Dropper. (3) Try a small or mini Oros indicator.(4) Dig out your pack of NZ Wool Indicators I made you buy in 2023. It didn’t go bad. (5) And switch your Euro Rig to the new Ultralight mono that is taking the competitions by storm. 
Hatches have been mostly PMD’s and Caddis, however keep an eye on BWO’s and Midges and even though both are small, they are often very important.
