CROOKED RIVER: trout, whitefish
Open to fishing all year below Bowman Dam. The Crooked continues to fish well through the fall months. Anglers should expect outflow from Bowman Dam to be held at 100 cfs during the winter irrigation storage season. Nymphing has been the most effective method, but fly-anglers should keep an eye out for fishing rising in afternoon. Try blue wing olive or midge patterns.
Anglers are reminded that steelhead may be present in the Crooked River and that Rainbow trout over 20 inches are considered steelhead and must be immediately released, unharmed.
Crooked River anglers may encounter bull trout now that there is volitional passage at Opal Springs. Anglers who catch a bull trout should release it unharmed and report their catch to the US Fish and Wildlife Service at [email protected]. Last updated 10/30/24.
