Pecos River - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:40 °FISHING: Good
That's a qualified good, as in, if you have an afternoon on your hands and want to spend it outdoors in a pretty and snowy mountain setting without boards strapped to your feet, you can go to the Pecos and actually have a chance at catching a few fish. Our friend Buck has been keeping regular hours on the river and to great avail. Rainbows AND browns are taking his red San Juan worm and green caddis rockworm just often enough to keep him smiling, though could that be the thermos of toddies talking (kidding Buck)?
San Juan River - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:41 °FISHING: Excellent
We've had several recent reports of fishing being markedly better on smaller sized hooks, 30s and 8X. Not for me, wearing fish out or breaking them off, but I'm sure the real experts are having a ball and taking care of their fish to boot. Black beauties are still a consistent producer, annelids, tiny PTs in the pm, an worms and eggs.
Rio Chama - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:41 °FISHING: Fair
Heard a story the other day, a second hand tale from a GandF biologist who had studied the river below Abiquiu pretty extensively. Apparently there are cutbanks that reach more than ten feet under land. They hold very huge trout sometimes, fish over 30 that when radiocollared have been documented to wander down to the Chama's confluence with the Rio, that when stomach sampled are known to have a predilection for rodents, mice and baby beavers.
Thought you'd want to know what that thing is chomping on your leg when you wade in too deep.
Also heard some whining about crowds at the Q. Nothing to do about that but deal; many act like the Chama's some big secret, but there are many old timers who knew that to be false even when New Mexico was still considered to be another country. And there are more fly anglers, the NM population has doubled since my childhood. So yeah, I guess we'll have to deal.
Fish big and baity (worms and eggs) or small and buggy, or both. I'd use the same approach at Coops.
Jemez Area Streams - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:39 °FISHING: Good
Hunch only. See the Pecos report; all you need is ganas, and maybe you'll get a fish or two.
Rio Grande - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:40 °FISHING: Good
I'm just going to say good, because I'm so jonesing to fish that being anywhere would beat being in front of a computer screen. But pike are being seen here and there, and fish are being taken at the Red confluence, and I'm sure there are players in the Pueblo as well. Try the run downstream of the water pipe, worms and a prince, and I bet you'll come up with a trout or two.
Conejos River - November 3rd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:58 °FISHING: Great
Like always, this report could be wrong within a day or so. But the fish are visible, many big ones, and they're on frenchies and worms. You'll have to earn it though, the best time probably being now while the weather is pleasant. Streamers dead drifted or jigged against the bank is a great way to pass a late autumn day.
Cimarron River - October 21st, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:41 °FISHING: Excellent
Browns are extremely active right now, and they'll fall for a medium sized streamer or the nymph. There's good flow too (25cfs), for the fall, so take advantage. Think scuds, craneflies, baetis, and caddis worms. Cimarroncita is almost closed, so if you want to get on some sweet private water, call 505-376-2376; Alan Huerta will hook you up with a special rate - 150.00 per person for one night's lodging, food, and a day and a half of fishing.
Taos Area Waters - October 8th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:61 °FISHING: Good
The key will be time of day; waterways with less water in them - Rios Chiquito, Hondo, Santa Barbara, de la Olla - are more influenced by cold nighttime temps. So they'll take longer in the morning to wake up. Still, a few midday fishing hours during Indian summer can do a body good.
Northern Lakes - September 28th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:61 °FISHING: Fair
Depends on the day, but if you want to get some last shots at high alpine lake fishing, there should be a week or two of decent fishing at Katherine, Horseshoe, Baldy, Trampas, and Jose Vigil. I like cluster midges, ants, and cripples, but putting a renegade behind a casting bubble works great too.
Santa Cruz should be hit and miss; if you walk around and see risers, go ahead and throw to them.
Costilla Creek - August 26th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life RECORDED:75 °FISHING: Good
Depends when you fish it. During the week, you'll find high flows and the fish hunkered down. Lose some flies, which means use a lot of weight, fish tight against logs and rocks and tree cover and the banks. Fish will be resting there, or in the middle behind some rock you can't make out through the heavy flows. On the weekend, dry flies will have a better chance, though the fish are becoming somewhat educated.
