Notes from the landowner

Enjoy 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. For this property, the trout bite is typically first thing in the morning (5:30 AM - 7:30 AM). If you come later than this you may catch more bass, whitefish, and pike minnow. 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. Camping is allowed on the property, making it a great location for a long weekend or week-long trip.

Towns, hotels, RV parks?

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!

We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.

No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.

Not all properties have signs, so be sure to check the property boundaries and information in the Infinite Outdoors app.

Access your adventure on the IO app before heading out the door, all the information and maps will be on the app so you don't need service to navigate your adventure. Also all property maps will download offline onto your app so you can always see where you are on the property, even without service.

We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!
