The time is here. If your planning on catching a 'cranebow' it's either now or next year or next week. Obviously if none of us had to work we would all be up there trying to break some kind of record. I'm starting to think work is just another way the fisheries are being regulated we just aren't supposed to know that. The chironomids are the ticket to the big fish days, using long leaders focus on the various creek/river channels that sit a smidge below the lake bed. Depth is extremely important when fishing with the 'chironobobbing' method. Give it a shot, it can be very addicting.
