The Crooked River is fishing great for the FFP guides, although most have said there have been fewer hatches lately. I wonder if that had to do with prolonged high water this winter and spring and the bugs washed out a bit? Could be, or it could also be that our schedule of 8 am to 4 pm is just not the right time to see dry fly action at it’s best. Troy sadi he has been getting a lot of his fish on Leeches and Scuds lately. A few great summer nymphs to use are Zebra Midges, Rainbow Warriors, Fire Starter Jig, Jig Napaleon, Purple Perdigon, PMD and BWO Micro Mayfly, 2 Bit Hooker and Skinny Nelson. Purple Haze, Royal Wulff, Sparkle Dun Yellow #16 and Olive #18, BDE #18, Upright Rusty Spinners, X Caddis, Corn Fed Caddis, small Grasshoppers and Renegades.
