Rio Chama - May 11th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
67 °
FISHING: Poor
No. Uhuh. Nah. Not.
Some of the tougher guys are poking around where they're taking irrigation water out, catching some big browns on turds and streamers. Gotta know your way around. Waiting on Heron.

Rio Chama - April 28th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
73 °
FISHING: Fair
Water's high, so I'd fish along the banks in the upper valley. If you have time, go to the Heron parking area, look down, and see if it won't be too dangerous to wade it. Don't be concerned with muddy water; it's not like it will be Abiquiu muddy, and Chama fish are used to it. I'd use camo buggers, turds, jackals, Warden's, golden wired stones, red or orange or brown worms, and streamers (dead drifted and under motion). Heads up for snakes.

Rio Chama - April 1st, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
67 °
FISHING: Great
Don't expect a ton of fish, but that may certainly happen below El Vado, Heron, and Abiquiu dams. Thing is though, the ton of fish may be in only one fish. There are some nice ones being caught on jackals, Scottish grubs, and caseless green caddis larvae. I'd have a zebra midge in the mix and fish flies that can be everything depending on how your rig. Dry/wet flies like muddlers, jackals, renegades, Hornbergs all work well depending on where in the column you want to run them.

Rio Chama - March 21st, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
70 °
FISHING: Good
Below El Vado, the lunchpail guy will get some nice browns; won't come easy, but green caddis larvae, worms, pheasant tails or like mayflies fished in the slow water will reward your patience.

Rio Chama - March 11th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
58 °
FISHING: Fair
Sight unseen, I'm thinking the drive up to the Heron or El Vado stretches might be worth it. You'll be alone, there won't be ice, and I think the weather we're having right now just might be as good as it's going to get in 2011. In other words, it might be smoking hot come summer, or plain old smoking from fires.
If I were going below Abiquiu, I'd be focusing on small nymphs on light tippets. But again, I'd do El Vado and Heron, probably with slow streamers, stoneflies, renegades and hare's ears.

Rio Chama - March 3rd, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
63 °
FISHING: Good
I guess any winter fishing's good if you're not breaking ice out of your guides and you have a decent chance of catching. I'd start with the small bugs at the Q, then fool around with other stuff instead of vice versa. Consider becoming involved with TU's current efforts to stabilize the flows during brown trout spawning season. We've got a good core group of volunteers working on doing that (amping up enforcemement as well), and a couple cooperative contacts at the Army Corps of Engineers. At some point soon, it will be nice to have more hands on deck.
But if you just want to fish, enjoy this nice weather. And fish El Vado too. No one's talking about it but it's not like the browns up there disappear. Fish meat flies.

Rio Chama - February 24th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
51 °
FISHING: Good
Below Abiquiu there are plenty of fish, and you can actually see. Figure that; I'd sooner think paying jobs were growing on trees. But it's true that you can see fish hovering in the favored spots. They're not eating junk, real small stuff mainly, dropped to the middle of the water column. Seriously, if you work a pool long enough, you'll run into some nice fishing.
El Vado is fishing OK. Put a good hike behind you, downstream.

Rio Chama - February 10th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
31 °
FISHING: Good
Always good to be on the Chama, though it's day to day. Fish El Vado way down with bait patterns, streamers, cranes, and crays, eggs. Enjoy being out there in that spectacular country.
Abiquiu requires some tiny stuff, though I'd mix in some of the above as well.

Rio Chama - January 31st, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
15 °
FISHING: Fair
It's going to be cold everywhere, so take your time and lower your expectations. Chama fish are probably going to slow way down, might want the small stuff. Abiquiu has been consistent on cranes, buggers, and grubbs, but maybe Homey won't play that when the front moves in.
A ways below El Vado is yielding some good catches. Try to hike for an hour below Coops before beginning your fishing.

Rio Chama - January 18th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
45 °
FISHING: Good
El Vado is going to be kind of spotty. I'd concentrate on the pools with small nymphs and bait (egg, worm, crayfish) imitations, knowing that the fish will be in there but may be a bit sluggish. The warm weather might produce some midge hatches so be prepared.
Abiquiu seems to have more active fish these days. They're chasing buggers and streamers, and a few smaller fish are being taken on small parachute adams. Fishing should continue to be decent all the way down to Bode's.
Kudos to anyone with the cojones to try above Abiquiu towards the seminary; God I hope someone figures that fishery out soon.
