The Crooked River is still awfully good, mostly with a myriad of perdigons, scuds, midges, skinny nelson and micro mayflies fished under a NZ Wool indicator or a XS Oros indicator.
Some of my friends have had really solid days on Soft Hackles, Eggs (I am not sure why, what is spawning now???) and small streamers like a Slum Lord.
We are approaching days to be more consistent with a BWO hatch and you can be prepared with dry flies to imitate cripples and emergers as well as duns, and don’t forget the small black midge hatches later afternoon most days.
