Members tangledup 120 Posted February 19 Members Report Share Posted February 19 Duck season kept me busy (not to mention work) so I haven't been to Crane Creek recently. In this lull between duck season and turkey season my mind has turned back to fishing and I find myself missing this little stream. I'd love to hear some stories if anyone has been lately. trythisonemv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with overcast conditions following a light rain I’m light on flies right now but I picked up a few things from the fly shop and hope to do some tying this weekend. If I can get a few tied up I’m going to head down there one day next week and try my luck. trythisonemv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members tangledup 120 Posted March 6 Author Members Report Share Posted March 6 I did well with pink and orange frenchies last fall. I have yet to catch a Crane Creek trout on a wooly bugger but that doesn't stop me from throwing them lol. trythisonemv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin 3,242 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Mohair leach/bugger rod always rigged & ready. Pat’s Rubberlegs is as good or better. You fish em dead drift like a nymph, not a streamer. Those wild fish love to eat crawfish, and they are very abundant in all the wild trout creeks. Active all year long in those spots, not so on streams with few springs.
