While Crane was not as productive this season as we would have liked, big fish were and will be caught out of this lake. They seemed harder to find with the late spring. The Chronimid hatches came, but the fish were not as congregated in the channels like we normally see as water temps stayed cooler than normal. We did see some large fish with a couple monsters hovering around the 30" mark. You do still have a couple weeks to get out there. The cast and strip techniques are good this time of year as the Rainbows will be found cruising and munching sticklebacks and whatever they may encounter, trying to fatten up for the cold winter.
