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)?

Pecos River - January 28th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
32 °
FISHING: Poor
I'm putting in a Pecos report only because fish are being caught there. Run a nymph rig along the ice shelves. Beats watching soaps, though napping and tying bugs seems preferable to going out in this stuff. Bait patterns, worms, eggs.

Pecos River - December 2nd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
38 °
FISHING: Poor
Imagine being cold blooded in a cold river. Imagine having a choice between being there and not being there, and choosing to not be there. This would be a good choice, unless you just want to get out and throw the line. You could do worse.

Pecos River - November 23rd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
59 °
FISHING: Fair
No recent reports on the Pecos, though if this warmish weather holds, you should be able to pick up a few on small nymphs. I'd actually run them beneath a hopper; if the hoppers aren't all dead yet, there will probably be some drowned ones in the flow. Certainly the prey image isn't dead yet in the minds of the Pecos trout.

Pecos River - November 3rd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
60 °
FISHING: Excellent
There are very few anglers on the Pecos these days, and the fish are celebrating. Size 18 micromays, PTs, Princes, Copper Johns. I'd throw a funky dry as my flag too, in case you need an indicator. Look for fish in all depths, especially when the sun is high. If the water is warmish, don't drop your nymphs too deep so as not to snag. Above all, enjoy the solitude.

Pecos River - October 21st, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
42 °
FISHING: Excellent
The water is up, but when it drops again, expect fabulous fishing at Dalton, Windy, Jamie Koch and Cowles. Don't overlook the skinny water, because the browns are there and they're eating. Dry and dropper rigs will keep you busy all day. Make sure your nymph is not too heavy; it will save you a lot of flies and you won't be ruining good water by retrieving snagged nymphs. PTs, micromays, militaries, PT Cruisers, you know the drill. Your dries can sink a bit if you want to run a Parachute Adams (the water's been so clear, you can see a #18 even if it sinks; still a good indicator).

Pecos River - October 8th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
65 °
FISHING: Great
Fishing up the canyon will be challenging, if only because the water is skinnier and the fish are at times keyed on those tiny olives that are coming off. Long leaders and pile casts are very helpful to achieve drag free drifts.
Down at the park, however, you'll be fishing in the dark, which is to say it's LIGHTS OUT down there. Dries ranging from patch adams to elk hairs to cripple duns are doing very well, as are your favorite medium to small sized nymphs. Big fish will chase a streamer thrown at the bank too. Princes, PTs, Secrets, PT Cruisers, Oops, micromays and turds are all working well. Madonnas and camos will bring the hot streamer action.

Pecos River - September 28th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
70 °
FISHING: Good
The late season squalls have left the stream in perfect condition. Expect cold morning temps and nymphing, warming up to the reliable fall olive hatch. It's amazing how picky those little browns can get, but if you hit it right, meaning 6X tippet and 20 and smaller patch adams or comparaduns, you will have some really fun hatch matching. Military mays are the nymphs of choice, or just your run of the mill PTs and micromays.

Pecos River - August 26th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
78 °
FISHING: Good
Though the fish are biting well on anything, the water is so low that it sometimes doesn't feel like fishing. But they definitely are biting: small elk hairs, cluster midges, ants and hoppers will do most of the damage. Nice dry fly action as the shade falls. Careful on the weekends, as the RV (recreational vehicle, I remind myself, wondering how cramming twenty of them bumper to bumper in a campground even slighly resembles recreation) hatch is thick lower in the canyon. Try some hiking up the tribs and up the mainstem above the last bridge before Jacks Creek.

Pecos River - August 17th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
77 °
FISHING: Excellent
The Pecos is very low, and very crowded on weekends. That said, fishing remains pretty great. If the fishing slows down, it will probably be in response to the weather, the hot and bright variety. If it's midday and fishing is starting to stink a bit, hit the shady spots, the faster water, and deeper stretches. They're coming out in the later hours, eating some red quill looking mayfly, among other things. A #16 Patch Adams might be all you need, though I would have an elk hair or two with me until the spruce moths are over with.
