Anglers report much improved trout fishing and excellent bass fishing at Crane Prairie. Bass anglers report excellent fishing in the northeast end of the reservoir. All of the relic river channels, and the flats are producing trout. Balanced leeches, damsels, chironomids, and callibaetis fly patterns are always a good bet for Crane Prairie. The reservoir is currently 70 percent full and is slowly being drawn down exposing more stumps and logs.
