PHEW, didn’t know how long the skunk would go into the new year.  A buddy of mine and I went out for a quick trip to the Crooked today.  I haven’t been fishing there in over a year but had heard that fishing had picked up in the last few months and the weather was decent, so why not?

We arrived on the river at about 1pm.  The temp rose about 6 degrees on the drive over to a nice and balmy 45.  I’m not sure what the water temp was, but there was still ice on the surface of some of the slower water.

Brett hooked a good sized whitefish right off the bat and we started working our way downstream.  On the way down we noticed a few rises about 100 yards down stream so we promptly switched out the nymph’s and went for some small BWO’s.  They ended up being the ticket, we totaled 8-9 trout a piece in one small section of water!

We were off the water about 3 hours later and had a great time of fellowship and fishing.
