Crane Prairie Reservoir - June 15th, 2004

FISHING: Fair
Crane can be tough in the spring. The water temp is all the same and there is no real reason for the fish to congregate in any certain area. All that means is cover water! Don’t spend too much time in any one spot. The Deschutes channel is the one exception; the fish are coming off the spawn and are re-entering the lake. The chironomid hatch has been strong near rock creek channel. A midge pupa set under an indicator suspended one to two feet off the bottom in the channel can fool the mighty “Cranebow”. Big Chironomids are showing up on the surface, work slowly and be patient-it is worth it!
