Anglers report fair and inconsistent trout fishing and improved bass fishing at Crane Prairie. The annual algae bloom is in full swing making water clarity poor in most areas but clearer and cooler water can be found in the Cultus and Quinn River channels and near the inlet tributaries. Balanced leeches, damsels, chironomids, and callibaetis fly patterns are always a good bet for Crane Prairie in July. The reservoir is currently 89 percent full.
