Crane Prairie is still a conundrum. Getting mixed reports. Seems like Deschutes Side and Cultus are better than Quinn and Rock Creek at this time. My friend Loren caught some at Quinn this week on Chironomids and Chartreuse Bead Olive Buggers.
Friends N & K from Sunriver found some good fish and some Callibaetis hatches on the 4th of July!
Damsels, Leeches, Chironomids are all top flies for the CP! I think it is worth fishing but maybe not at it’s best yet. Will it get there in 2022?
