Open to fishing all year below Bowman Dam. Anglers report good trout fishing and excellent catches of mountain whitefish now that flows have dropped below 300 cfs following several months of high flow releases for flood control. ODFW staff conducted annual fish population monitoring on the Crooked River June 24-27th between Big Bend and Cobble Rock Campgrounds and found good numbers of whitefish and fair numbers of trout in the 10-14-inch range.
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.
