Crane Prairie is showing signs of life in the channels

Crane Prairie is showing signs of life in the channels. I haven’t been, but heard from my friend Tim (Echo owner) that water temps were high at the surface but safe at the channels down 7 to 10 feet.
Balanced Leeches, Chironomids, 2 Bits and Damsel Nymphs are all good. Pop your tippet up to 3x and play the fish hard and fast to the net if you’re headed that way. Quinn and Cultus are the top picks, and maybe wait to later in the week and watch the water because it looks like we are going to drop about 12 degrees from Sundays high to Thursdays high.
I get my weather reports for the lakes from studying Windy dot com and National Wx and NOAA Weather app’s. If you haven’t used those sites, they are a pretty good start to knowing more about the area you’ll be, and could even make a difference between a safe trip or an uncomfortable one. I have East Lake, Crane, Hosmer, Sisters, Camp Sherman all saved for help in planning a good day on the water.
I am sure over this heat, as I am sure a lot of you are too. I dream of a day with 70 degree temps and cloudy skies and even a few days of rain sounds good at the moment. Oregon and the rest of the west need it.
If you say your prayers, or if you do a rain dance to another spirit, or you just hope for it in the universe, we need all hands on deck for some relief to the drought and for our fish, our farms, the cities we live in and the gardens we grow.
