Fished Crane Again Today,

[timsfly]

Fished crane again today, fished above town, it is a lot brushier and the stream is a lot smaller than what it is down below town, I saw lots of fish today, but only landed 3 but had a blast anyway,

it was so brushy in a few spots it would have been better to have had a short spinning rod, than the fly rod I had. Here are few pics.

The dark trout in the photo was about 16" long, I hooked him, he made one run and he was gone, oh well that is the way it goes.

Caught em all on a 1/80th oz woolybugger jig, ginger in color.

Nice fish!!

Could I be so humble as to request setting/scenery photos from your trips. For me that really is my favorite part of getting away to fish.

Please don't get me wrong I like reports and fish porn is always a plus.

Boy that's some clear water!

Yeh the water is clear and low up there right now, JJtroutbum, do you want pics of the creek and stuff like that ?

I'll try to do better, I usually just take a pic of the fish right quick, but I'll do some scenery next time.

[jjtroutbum]

Yep helps with the living vicariously part of on-line reports.

I need to get down there and not be so dependent on others outings to help fight off my shack nasties.

Thanks

What strain of rainbow are these fish... from California I think? Is Crane the only stream holding these or are there others?

Just remembered... McCloud River (is that right?)

[timsfly]

Yes, I think Crane and Mill Creek have Mcloud river rainbows.
