Crane Prairie is a good choice from here on out until the end of the season. Any channel is good, and the fish are spreading beyond the channels now that temps are cooling. Balanced Leeches (try the new Umpqua leech with the chamois leather tail! it is really cool and durable too), Ice Cream Cones, Zebra Midges, Black CDC Double Down, Scuds, Blobs, Water Boatman and Red Jig PT. Red Hippie Stompers and Purple Chubby’s are a good indicator and also good dries for fall.
