Crane Prairie was good for us again yesterday. Black Balanced Leeches were the best, but again that Fulling Mill jig I talked about before, with the CDL Tail, Stripped Herl Body, Red Holographic Thorax and a Copper Bead caught quite a few too. Chironomids, Bloodworms, Leeches, Water Boatman, Assassins or Black Birds Nests are all good choices stripped or under the indicator.
I am falling in love with the Scientific Anglers Emerger Tip Fly Line. From Crane to Paulina to East to Hosmer that line has accounted for a lot of good fishing this season and yesterday at CP our biggest fish came with that line stripping leeches. So, it’s not all about the bobber. If you don’t have this line, you should get one, besides the fact it puts the fly at a good level for the retrieve, on a windy day it is exceptional for a super slow retrieve on a leech, chironomid or mayfly nymph presentation.
