Crane Prairie is starting to bloom a bit, which is fine, but the crystal clear water days won’t be seen again until mid-August. I heard the morning bite was really good yesterday and then it was slow the rest of the day. 
I am hopeful to see a callibaetis hatch soon. Damsel Nymphs are a solid bet, but the standard Leech and Chironomid rigs under the strike indicator will likely serve you best this week.
