Rio Chama - February 9th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
47 °
FISHING: Great
El Vado's a little punky, low water, fewer fish. Hike's always worth it, but farther down is probably where you'll find more fish. Or save yourself some drive time and just go to Abiquiu. There's been some stocking and some concentration of fish up above the picnic table. Everything from eggs, worms, zebras, and small midge and mayfly dries will work fine. Seriously, numbers of fish caught are really beyond the norm.

Rio Chama - January 23rd, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
35 °
FISHING: Good
Water levels are going up below El Vado to over 70, but any damage to spawning beds may have already been done. Get out there and see if you can find fish in pools and deep runs. My money would be on eggs, worm patterns, cranes, caddis larvae, and hot-colored or flashy tiny stuff.
There's been a nice uptick below Abiquiu, with some reliable afternoon surface activity that can be met with very small attractors like midge clusters, trailing midge emergers. Otherwise, a zebra midge in olive, red, or olive and any subtle skinny BWO nymph will stand a good chance in the riffles leading into pools.

Rio Chama - January 13th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
39 °
FISHING: Good
Below the two dams, anything from zebras to brainer worms. Look for some bitty risers below Abiquiu, and fish clusters to them.

Rio Chama - December 7th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
35 °
FISHING: Great
Flows are still high, people are still jumping lots of fish on craneflies, anato-mays and egg patterns. Abiquiu and El Vado still have fertile fish and these streams are still the main thing going on this side of the Continental Divide, and that is the truth, from actual fishing and fishing reports. We are really doing it and not pretending we're not.

Rio Chama - November 30th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
40 °
FISHING: Excellent
Getting to be hit or miss, but when you're hitting, it's out of the park. A host of flies - craneflies, egg patterns, streamers - are working well at El Vado. Same deal at Abiquiu, but you'll whiff a little more frequently. Looks like a lot of the fish are getting caught out.

Rio Chama - November 14th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
59 °
FISHING: Excellent
In case you've been living on Mars, the Chama is a river that fishes extremely well this time of year for large browns and rainbows. Sorry, had to throw a final madraso at whomever was acting like the river's some big secret, which it aint. In spite of concerns that the powers had cut the bottom out of the flows, the river below El Vado and Abiquiu will continue to rise gradually through November and December and the fishing should continue to be good. I'd keep worms and grubs in my box, some eggs and smallish beadhead mayflies like hare's ears and anatomays. Egg beads, clown eggs, craneflies and streamers should draw interested fish too. Please be careful around those spawners, because every egg that hatches bumps the odds for better fishing.

Rio Chama - November 3rd, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
55 °
FISHING: Excellent
Ochamanos! Amazing! Great! A Must See!
Crane flies, clown eggs, egg beads in orangish pink, and brown bacon worms will be your workhorses, but you will maybe get the biggest slabs on streamers, white seeming to draw the most focused action. I would also keep a small caddis or baetis nymph in the bullpen in case an epidemic of fishus bitchinus breaks out.
Water is coming up though, as BOR needs to deliver a chunk of water before the end of the year. Truchas Chapter has engaged the Bureau and they say they will do their best to moderate the impacts of the releases on the spawning browns. Same at Abiquiu; the Corps has been very helpful in creating a stable flow environment and minimum flows for spawners to make sweet brown trout love in..

Rio Chama - October 5th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
76 °
FISHING: Good
We're not in prime time yet, but I'm sure there are plenty of fish to catch. I'd be trying the cranes, the worms, maybe some itty bitty. I'd hike for about 45 minutes downstream. Or I'd fish near town.

Rio Chama - September 15th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
76 °
FISHING: Excellent
Fish high up with hoppers, dropping purple nymphs with a good bit of flashy to them. Lots of bear poop, but it looks like they're mainly eating acorns and berries. Maybe a pair of eyeglasses here and there, an Iphone, but nothing too major.

Rio Chama - September 8th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
84 °
FISHING: Great
It's getting to be mouse time on the Sargent. Also bow season I think, so watch your ass if you weren't going to already. One of my worst fears as I get older is breaking a leg in the Sargent and having to spend the night out there, though I could think of an infinity of worse places to meet my maker.
Yes, mice, stimmies, cicadas, and some small dries like mini hots, parachutes, ants, and cripples.
