Crane Prairie is so-so

Crane Prairie Reservoir - Sunriver, OR (Deschutes County)

Crane Prairie is so-so. Be patient. Balanced Leeches in Black, Olive and Brown are all working. Chironomids, especially Olive #16, Red #12-16, Black with Silver #16 and Tan #18. Deschutes Channel seems to be the best so far. I’d say the indicator methods have been superior to any slow sinking line and stripping techniques so far.
Damsel nymphs are important, and this may be the exception to the indicator vs. stripping a clear camo argument.
Will we see our mid-June callibaetis hatch? I hope so. I love big Cranebows on dries.
Is it worth fishing? Yes. It is Crane Prairie and if you hit CP right, when she is in a good mood you will be too. Guided trips available.
