Crooked River rainbows!!!!!

[spmpdr]

I went up to the crooked river 2 days in a row , landed 10 fish out of around 16 hooked into .... all on 18 blk bh gold ribbed hares ears nymphs. The biggest one i got was a 18" rainbow which hit that nymph like a frieght train!!!

Some really nice 10-14" as well . will post pics soon.

This is the big guy, I might have exagerated the 18" a bit more like 16" or so but none the less the biggest fish ive caught on the crooked!!!!

Love that river! And an 18" bow has got to be close to a record for that place!

Sounds like you had a great trip.

There are some "bigger" ones in there. I got a 20", in about 1972.

An 18" fish on a size 18 nymph nice! I can see that rod of yours bending right now. Man that had to be fun knowing the way those fish hit on that river. I'm happy for you, must have been a real thrill.
