Crane Prairie is fishing pretty well, and they seem to be holding/maintaining water levels at 60% so things look pretty good (sure, it would be nice to see 75%…but this damn drought).
Balanced Leeches are great. Water Boatman, Scuds and Dragonfly Nymphs will be good choices fished under an indicator or on slow sinking lines like a Hover or Intermediate.
