So far the only lake I have a report from is Crane Prairie and it’s not a very good report. I have spoken to anglers now since the opener on 4/22 and fishing is slow. Leeches and Chironomids should always be on every Crane Prairie outing. Damsel Nymphs, Callibaetis Nymphs and Scuds are important, and should all be worthwhile as the fishing improves soon on Crane.
I was told the docks were being placed in either 5/13 or 5/14, and we all appreciate that a ton. These docks are put in either by road crews or volunteers from the USFS, or a combination of both. It takes road machines/tractors to move some of those big heavy wood docks and this is truly no easy task on any lake.
