I'm going to be on a houseboat on Crane Lake in N. Minnesota for 5 days in
early Aug. Is there any chance of catching anything with my fly rod? Or
will I have to join the ranks of the "spinners"?

You should be able to catch smallmouth and northern pike
on the fly. Poppers, Sneaky Petes, Dahlberg Divers and
the Reynold's Pike Fly tossed with a 6, 7 or 8wt. Although
for me catching a northern pike is always accidental and
never pleasant. I *HATE* those damn things.
