Write a Report
The Crooked River has been quite stingy this summer. It was an excellent spring fishery but things have slowed down so it's especially critical to select the correct flies for the conditions. Fishing times vary but we've had best results after 6PM using nymph flies.

I fish here regularly. It's not the best fishing in the area, but the scenery is great, and it's close to Bend. I'll work hard for a bite.
