Crane Prairie is similar: cooler water has fish sliding to channels and the cleaner edges of the arms. Balanced leeches (dark tones), small midges, and scuds under an indicator are the day-to-day producers. Set depth to ride just over the weeds, and keep moving until you find clear lanes and life on the sounder. If it goes quiet, cover water with a slow, steady strip of a leech or small minnow pattern along timber lines and channel edges; dusk can flip a tough day quickly.
