Jemez Area Streams - August 23rd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
77 °
FISHING: Great
Good reports from the Caldera. Three weights are best and tiny patch adams and ants. Good time to work on your blind game, gauging your cast lengths, looking for subtleties to indicate strikes. Terrestrials are still the ticket, though what fish up there won't sucker for a well-presented bug?

Jemez Area Streams - August 11th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
87 °
FISHING: Good
The water will be low, the sun bright all day, and the fish might get punky, especially through the unrelenting afternoon. Best to start early and see what happens. That's when bugs will be hatching, small mayflies and caddis, and of course the ant and beetle program is still going strong. As with all meadow streams, the Jemez creeks will have the prey image of drifting earthworms burned into their brains. My experience on Tusas Creek last week confirmed that worms are real trout food and not just a blue tub next to the Power Bait at a gas station. So when in doubt, remember that the brown worm rocks all summer on the upper meadows section of the Conejos.

Jemez Area Streams - August 3rd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
75 °
FISHING: Great
If the gods will cut the rain (and we all kind of hope that they don't, at least all the way), there is plenty of fun fishing throughout the Jemez in waters small and less small. Black dry patterns work really well, especially those that resemble ants and small beetles. Parachute hoppers are also drawing plenty of action and work well as indicators, off of which teeny nymphs and sparsely tied caddis pupa can be dropped to great effect. Stop and smell the roses though. This weather has given us about a million new shades of green, and plenty of stupendous wildflowers.

Jemez Area Streams - July 9th, 2010

RECORDED: 
82 °
FISHING: Great
Water's getting low, so you should also. Fish ants and small stuff on thin tippet, and cast well. Consider a nap in mid day.

Jemez Area Streams - July 1st, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
74 °
FISHING: Good
The Jemez will require your best game these days, which, along with possibly long casts (in the meadows), good stalking, and comfort with smaller flies and no indicators, should include the option of finding some shade beneath at tree and taking a nap. When the sun is high over there, the fish might decide to take their own siestas, so why work so hard when it might not do any good. Ants.

Jemez Area Streams - June 18th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
88 °
FISHING: Excellent
There will be slow times now that the sun is high and the effing forest is on fire. But they'll eat ants or trico like things early in the day. All the creeks should be fun at least at some point in every day.

Jemez Area Streams - June 9th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
99 °
FISHING: Excellent
Folks are still raving about the dry fly fishing in the Caldera; small mayfly imitations are good for prospecting, hard shelled ants too. There are plenty of young hoppers to boot.
The fire was a slight scare, but now that it's under control, it's time to join the Guad Squad and go catch some fish on stoneflies. The big ones are reportedly done, but since it takes a while for a trout to forget what it's been stretching its gut on for the last couple weeks, go ahead and give it a shot. If that fails, there are sallies and late day flutterings of caddis.
Try to bring a fishing buddy if you're going to get too deep in that canyon, and if you're camping, do us all a favor and don't catch the forest on fire. Gracias.

Jemez Area Streams - May 26th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
78 °
FISHING: Excellent
Water is high, though just barely, and stoneflies are out and baby grasshoppers too. All the tribs are offering some really fun fishing on a variety of methods. Even the trickle streams have hungry fish waiting for your casts. Cluster midges, parachute black gnats, beetles, and small stimmies will be fun, along with small bead heads (don't want to get too heavy.
The Guad is still a week or two away from perfect, but expect a nice stonefly hatch this year.

Jemez Area Streams - May 14th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
68 °
FISHING: Great
Though the water is high, it's fishably clear, and the fish are definitely responding on the East Fork, the San Antone, and Cebolla. Small nymphs are getting a lot of play, but think about a big indicator dry to see if you can wake something up. Stonefly nymphs, lightly weighted or on a tight line will likely become very important in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for the Guadalupe.

Jemez Area Streams - April 25th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
64 °
FISHING: Fair
Flows are receding as I write this despite the recent snow. I would use stonefly nymphs and beadheads, especially at depths where light has trouble cutting through the murk. I've always liked fishing a dirty Jemez with a small white winged streamer, jigging it in pockets just as you would a Panther Martin spinner. Also pack Anvil Eggs, San Juan Worms and Double Browns. Jig behind rocks, use a lot of weight and keep a tight line.
