Flows on the Crooked have been up and down the last couple of days from 275 to 200 and back up again. Fishing was good this last week mainly with nymphs but I’ve heard that caddis are around in the evenings and a few PMD’s are flying midday. Euro nymphing is all the craze these days and is quite effective on the 9 miles below Prineville reservoir. Small double beaded mayfly nymphs and anything purple has been the ticket when the bug activity is minor and fish aren’t looking up. Hopefully the flow will stay consistent though the weekend as we have some decent weather on the way and the bugs will be out and about!
