The Crooked River is fishing well on small nymphs and scuds. Perdigons, Lightning Bugs, Zebra Midges, 2 Bit Hookers, Split Case PMD, Halls CDC Hare Ear, Frenchie and Caddis Pupa are super good nymphs and add some Renegades, Purple Haze and Comparaduns to the dry fly boxes, and tuck a few Griffiths Gnats in the box in case you get a proper midge hatch in the evening that the fish key on.
Never discount the power of a soft hackle on the Crooked River either. Swung, Nymphed or greased as an emergent these work great here.
