Crane Prairie was good for me last Sunday, with a better afternoon bite coming from the Deschutes Channel on Red Chironomids.
I got a nice email from my friend Eric yesterday and he did really well on Chironoimids but it sounded like throughout the day he found it necessary to cycle through 5 different colors and sizes to keep the bite going.
Leeches are a staple at CP, and having a good assortment of them in different bead colors and dubbing colors will be good, but black is always a safe choice. I also recommend the Rowley’s Balanced Minnow. Some days that get eats way better than a Leech.
