Crane Prairie is the same, with some areas of the lake seeing surface temps in the mid 70’s which is lethal for trout. BUT, there are some spots in the morning near the confluences of the Deschutes and Cultus Rivers that are cold.
Balanced Leeches, Black Double Down, Red Ice Cream Cone, Damsels, Scuds, Blobs and Waterboatman.
Please be a responsible angler and don’t fish water too warm for trout. I think justifying the bottom is cold enough but dragging trout up to the surface that occasionally may be warmer than 68 is a risk of killing valuable fish.
