Largemouth Bass, Mountain White Fish, Rainbow TroutEnjoy 1 mile of fishing on the Crooked River just outside of Prineville, Oregon. This area is known for its scenic beauty and excellent trout fishing. This river is primarily known for its wild trout, especially rainbow trout. You may also find some brown trout, whitefish, bass, and pike minnow in certain areas of the river.
The best trout fishing traditionally is from April through June in the early morning and again in the fall. July and August the water is typically very low and warm. The river has several rocky shelves and deep pools, offering great opportunities for nymphing and dry fly fishing. Various nymph patterns, such as Pheasant Tails, Hare's Ears, and Zebra Midges, tend to be effective. Dry flies like Adams, Elk Hair Caddis, and Blue Winged Olives can work well during hatches. A lightweight fly rod in the 3 to 5 weight range is suitable for most situations on the Crooked River. Access to this property will be fairly easy for most anglers and you have access to both sides of the river. There are willows lining some of the North banks of the river, but it has access pockets all up and down this beat. This property is going to lend to better wade fishing, but you can find shore fishing as well. May, June, and July will be your best months to fish. Keep your eye out for wildlife as you enjoy the fishing and the scenery.
Take note that this property can have rattlesnakes and mountain lions on it.

A beautiful ranch that was tucked into the canyon made for quite an epic setting. River was easy to access from the designated parking area and the trails were easy to spot. Had to work my way through some willows for access to some sections of the water, but well worth the effort.
