Come rain or shine... More likely looking like rain though. ::)

Got the Windy Group site reserved on the far west side of the lake. Come join if you like.

I love that little lake.  I camped there a couple of years ago.  Quiet as a church mouse until about 5am when all the boats head out (still pretty quiet) and most are back in around 10am with full limits of kokanee.  Good luck!

Well there were plenty of kokanee to be had, but I didn't target them. Trolled for Browns and Macks. There were 15 fish retained out of the 3 boats in our camp. 6 were browns and 2 were rainbow. I did  manage to catch 1 Mack right at the 24" minimum length. The oddest thing was I hooked a whitefish on a Rapalla.

Troll Rapalas Shallow- 8-12 ft of water, light gear FAR behind your boat (100-150 feet at least). Just about any minnow imitation will work. Caught the 'bows on a fire tiger color, but most of them were on a fat kokanee colored one.

Didn't get many pictures, but here's the Mack when I went out in my brothers pb. Caught me with my eyes closed... :P

On a different note... I had a blast with sailing the Revo on that lake!

Thank you sir, will be on the hunt for 'bows and brookies at Crane prairie this weekend. If you're bored make the drive over  ;D
