Any particular spots on the river I should check out? We don't have any sort of boat or pontoon so are strictly going to be bank fishing.
Below Bowman Dam on the Crooked you have (I think) almost 17 miles of access. The Met, Fall, and Crook are all wade fishing no need for a boat. You can't fish from one on most the rivers around here anyway so unless you want to get out on the lakes it is generally unnecessary
Sounds like that's where we'll be going, then... really we just want to have a good time but it would be nice to catch a couple fish, this will be our first time fishing this year and first time ever fishing this part of Oregon.
It looks like we can drive east of Bend, through Alfalfa to get to Prineville Reservoir, so that we don't have to drive around to Redmond and Prineville. Am I correct that we'll want to fish below Bowman Dam, which is at the reservoir? Would a good spot be somewhere between Prineville and the dam?
I haven't been out there in a few weeks and the last time I was below the Dam the watter was ripppppppppppin. Heard from a fellow angler it hadn't changed much yesterday and may have even gotten worse. Good luck if you go. Nymph show for sure.
