Fish Populations Took A Hit This Summer

Walking the banks of Crane Creek I notice that I don't see as many fish as I usually do darting back and forth. Anybody else notice this?

Yes it is terrible, nobody should fish this winter on Crane.

All streams were affected by the drought this summer to some degree. Lets all take the year off next year and fish lakes only. Give the streams some time to recover.

Went to crane to take pics for an article I'm writing, and the low water is bad but the

snakes are doing well, they were everywhere, guess the snakes are enjoying the

warm weather. Saw lots of trout.

Awesome. Were you in the park area there are a lot of fish there I have noticed. Don't like to fish it to much though.

I was down by water moccasin bend, near rattle snake riffle(down below dairy farm)

Where the big snakes hang out

Some days you don't see the fish at all — they know how to hide — and some days they're quite visible. The low water/drought has definitely hit Crane hard. I think the trout were stressed some over the summer for it.
