LadyoftheLake
Brandon, I told ya we are going with the right guy! John has caught more than his share of truly large Cranebows over the decades! Unfortunately, the Rainbows seem to be in short supply this year. I just got an email minutes ago from another guide stating how slow the fishing is this year. To the point he is trying to get clients to not book at Crane as their expectations are not likely to be met this year! Having said that, we do know there are still some large fish in the lake, and there are at least some Rainbows, Brookies, and Kokes, just seemingly not the numbers of 2-3year old fish there should be. Perhaps next week you'll be the guy that beats the odds and pulls a monster to the net!!!
I do hope Ladyofthelake has some good luck with her methods verses what us fly folks do! Would be encouraging to hear at least one good report this season! Seems the early May Crane trip Jim and I had is proving to be exceptional considering how it is going for most folks so far this season.
