Crane Prairie is just a little tough, but I think it is worth fishing. A friend was there yesterday and got fish on Balanced Leeches and Chironomids.
Damsels are hatching in very good numbers and are a must for imitating. Water is warming up and that means finding the channels.
With the hot bright conditions you should be there earlier and also consider a late assault at dusk for better bite action. Fishing mid day can be slow. It also can be good. That is the way CP is.
