Crane bucket list!!!

[BadKarma]

Finally had a chance to go to Crane Creek. Looking to check off a bucket list item. Went to the 2nd crossing above the city park. Walked down about 25 yards to a nice size pool. Sat and watched and saw they were sipping off the surface.  I brought my 9' tenkara rod and tried a few drys. Finally attracted some attention with a size 14 brown Elkhair Caddis. In 25 mins. I caught 2!!!! Biggest was about 10 inches. 

With my health issues, I was extremely happy 😊.

Is that the Old Wire Road crossing? (with the MDC parking lot)  Shows as "Middle Wire Rd.  Access" on this map-

 

There is one crossing that borders the park, I guess could count as "above the park"? or do you mean the "Upper Access" that I have never found?

Elk hair caddis is by far most productive dry on crane. Nymph would be olive woolly bugger. Glad you got out there. I believe I'll be headed down there sometime soon
