Crane Prairie is a solid option, with trout feeding on balanced leeches, chironomids, and Callibaetis nymphs while East Lake fish continue to feed on Callibaetis as they become more consistent during the afternoon and evening sessions. Paulina Lake remains consistent, with trout feeding on chironomids, Callibaetis, and balanced leeches.

As water temperatures continue to increase across the region, expect early and late-day fishing to remain the most productive with bug activity steadily improving over the next few weeks.

Recommended Flies.

  • Chromie Chironomid (#14–18)
