Crane Prairie was a mixed bag of reports from friends and customers this week. Some days were really slow, and other days were ok. The better reports came from Quinn and Cultus, and not from the flat in the Deschutes side. 
We should be hitting Callibaetis hatches this week after the heat wave ends and we go back to normal temps. 
Damsels, Leeches and Chironomids are staples, and fish a Purple Chubby with a Red 2 Bit Hooker or Black Double Down as a dropper in the shallows, and even in deeper areas because we need to remind ourselves that just because the water is deeper doesn’t mean the fish are always eating in the bottom layers.
