The Crooked River is also a top choice for fishing this week. The morning and afternoon times you won’t see a lot of hatches until afternoon shadows from the tall trees fall over parts of the river, but when the shadows occur an Upright Rusty Spinner, PMD Film Critic and PMD Comparadun, BWO Flag Dun and Tan Caddis including Weiss’s Caddis, Fin Fetcher, X Caddis and Elk Hair Caddis. (did you know our Elk Hair Caddis at FFP are tied with a foam body for more floatation?) As evening progresses the dry fly action will be more consistent. 
Zebra Midges, Scuds, Perdigons, Rainbow Warriors and Micro Mayflies are nymphs you will tighline with or use under a NZ Wool Indicator or Small Oros.
