Crane Prarie Reservoir

Often noted as one of Oregon's best bass lakes, Crane Prarie is worth a trip. Bass were illegally introduced into this Central Oregon Reservoir and has created quite a controversy. Big rainbow trout were always the draw to Crane until the word started getting out about the size of bass seen here. Tournaments pound the lake hard on weekends and you have to be crafty to pick up one of these lunkers, but they are in high enough numbers to drive you crazy when sight fishing. Standing timber is all over and provides most of the angling targets, but a few secrets are left for less pressured fish.
