I think Crane Prairie is off my own list for a while. Super warm surface temps on most of the lakes. Yes, the channels at the bottom can be much cooler but during the fight you still have to drag them through the warm stuff and release them back through it to return to the cooler areas. I just can’t compute how this is safe for the fish?
