Crane Creek level?

[crkoester]

Thinking about making my first ever trip up there to Crane Wed or Thurs. Not sure how much of this rain they got up there. Anyone know what the creek looks like right now? Will it likely be blown out by Wednesday or Thursday?

It's gonna be big.

If we don't get much more rain today or Tomorrow it should be great for fishing terrestrial flies. I live 20minutes from there and have several employees that live in crane who said it's not bad. I'm planning maybe Friday morning heading down. Met a stream team member today from there who said it was in good shape and that scuds in the 18 range were the most prevalent aquatic inverts in there now.

Any significant hatches popping this time of year? Other than terrestrials and scuds, what are the best local patterns? Never been up there... can't wait to work out my new little St Croix 7.5 foot 3 weight.

I'm almost 2 hours away, I'd hate to make the drive and find the creek has turned into a river.

Caddis and bow are hatching pretty good. Lots of midges in the 20 size range

Mohair leech was very productive last week after first rains

What do the caddis look like up there? Tan size 18 or so, like the small ones down at Roaring River?

Yeah same. They are predicting more rain Wednesday through Friday now though. It may be a river after all

[crkoester]

Any newer update on Crane level? Still thinking about sneaking up there Thursday. The way the creeks are rolling down here I don't feel too hopeful though.

Upper, Upper Indian is slightly up and clear, upper shoal is barely stained, im guessing capps is good to go, a lot of sw mo got rain w/o flooding so dont count crane out unless you hear its blown out.....
