Anglers report fair winter fishing in the Crooked River. Cooler temperatures have shortened the window for hatches and feeding activity to warmer parts of the day.
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 crookedbulltrout@fws.gov.
