The Bureau of Reclamation will have a dive team inspecting the Bowman Dam for one day on 11/2/18 and will reduce flows to 25 cfs for the day.

Fat, heavy … Continue reading Info on Crooked River for 11/2/18

Crooked River fishing report 10/25/18

Three Creeks Lake report 10/3/18
It's getting cold up on the lake at 6500 feet, so water temps are getting down there, but the fish are still active on the shorelines and out to about 10-12' off shore.
