Besides the guide reports this week from the Crooked River, our good friend and former shop dude Captain Drew (retired fireman) was out there camping and fishing this week and he said the fishing was absolutely on fire! Of course the storms got a little crazy Thursday, but the river itself was not affected by the storm and remains at 246 cfs. 
Drew was swinging soft hackles and fishing dry caddis patterns mostly. Besides the caddis, scuds, zebra midges, winkers, 2 bit hookers, skinny nelson, caddis pupa, renegade, purple comparadun, purple haze and keep an eye on PMD’s and add some yellow comparaduns and parachutes too.
