Friday trip June 1

[trythisonemv]

 Mo moSo stopped by plateau Thursday to see if they had something I needed ... 😆 and got to talking to the younger guy that works in there. We got on topic of crane and what we throw and where we go. He said he always fishes the middle off of roundhouse and I always fish below ball Fields and trestle bridge. So I decided to try his spots and see if there were any fish. Made it down at 730 as usual and started walking up stream. Landed five in about twenty minutes and then can up on some soon fisherman who hadn't had much luck. We talked a few minutes and they had put in at the same spot I did. They were throwing spinners and had caught one small fish. I had been throwing scud with a beadhead and managed four small and a decent one. Kept walking and managed a few more small ones before creek dried up and went underground. So I decided to try the upper access as I hadn't fished it in about a year. Good decision s the three best fish of the day came up there. One thirteen inches and two twelves. The thirteen came on olive bugger bow and arrow casted under a tree and stripped.  The two twelves were actually both riser in consecutive order under two trees . Flipped a foam body caddis i tie too the first and instant take and acrobatics. The second took about fifteen tries before getting annoyed by it and snarfing it down. Very cool to see two risers like this in a row. Never seen this on lower end. Also more tree cover on this end which have good sport go the bow and arrow style cast.  Good day twenty plus fish and perfect temps.

Nice man!  You sure do have that creek figured out.

Congrats on some fine looking McClouds! That is such a special little creek. I meant to get down to Crane last year, but just couldn't make the trip work. Not sure when I will get back there now. So keep posting and I can relive the successful trips that I had in the past.

Thanks for the report. With work, I have been doing zero fishing.

I plan to take a Friday off and head down there soon. Thanks again for al the good info.

KWhat i need to do is work on my text editing , loads of mistakes! That place seems to surprise me every time I go down. Never the same experience and I think that is what gives it the allure. Almost hopper time now ... I can see the explosions already!

You mention fishing the upper end. It has been awhile since I have fished up there.

Were there many downed trees over the creek? That was the issue last I was up there.

Thanks again for the nice report

Those trees are almost the best spot now. Theyve been washed out pretty well

I may ruffle some fly fisherman, but I have not fly fished this creek. Regardless I have had success using a hopper as additional weight and indicator with a copper john dropper. Got bites including several big bites on both flies.

We'll be sending someone by to cut off a pinky toe.

             We don't care if you fly fish it or not just don't let us catch you soaking your worm trying to catch micro fish ,
