I believe Crane Prairie is going to be completely ready to enjoy this week after the cooler weather arrives. There are always place in CP to find cool waters safe enough to catch and release trout without harming them, but those areas are sacred, far and few between and hard to find unless you know the lake really well. This is why I often suggest not going when the weather is hot in the summer because not everyone can do it safely and ethically.
