February 2022 Ozark Anglers Crane Creek trip

Brian, Phil, and other 2-16 Craners,

 

Sure wish I could join in tomorrow, but the drive up from Dallas for the day is a bit too much.  Crane Creek is one of my favorite challenges and it would be great to have some pros teach me a thing or 2 about how to increase my stealth.  Looks like the temp will be unseasonably comfortable for you - but the breeze might make those delicate casts more unpredictable.  Maybe there will be enough ruckus on the surface to increase your stealth factor.  I will console myself and aim for some solidarity by hiking over to our neighborhood pond recently trout-stocked by Texas Parks Dept with some parr markers that are struggling to breathe and haven't yet learned to fight like those CC natives.

- Bob

Well it was windy, but the trout were friendly. I was late, 7ish, but fished a bit each at Wire Rd, Park and Grisham Ford; didn't see another angler until I was leaving at noon. 

i know that @snagged in outlet 3 was hoping to see some trout photos 😄
