Crane Prairie Update August 2nd, 2024
August 2, 2024
Crane Prairie has been fishing hot! (literally). Try to fish it in the morning or evening if you can, surface temps are way too high to be safe for fish during the day. If you do fish it, we have heard some more positive reports coming out of Crane the last few weeks. Balanced leeches seem to be the ticket right now with black and olive being the best colors. As always, damsels, callibaetis, and chironomids should all be in your box. Dry fly opportunities may present themselves on some days and having a good variety of callibaetis dries and cripples will be to your advantage. Paddle trolling or wind drifting flies can also be an effective method for finding spread out fish.
