Rio Chama - December 30th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
33 °
FISHING: Excellent
Abiquiu is still hot for crying out loud. At about 40 cfs, the fish are concentrated and will come up for dries or take egg patterns trailed by small mayfly or midge bugs, micromays, killer mayflies, WD-40s in brown. Comparaduns and cluster midges are doing the job up top, but the most successful method of late has been nymphing in the Estonian finger tradition.
Lots of small browns too, which bodes well for the future of the fishery. Now if we can only get them to regulate flows just a little better for spawning success, our nearby winter fishery should get better and better.

Rio Chama - December 22nd, 2010

RECORDED: 
52 °
FISHING: Fair
Yeah, but you should go anyway. The weather is pleasant, the views amazing, and the solitude is something you can rarely count on these days in the fly fishing world. I don't think the fishing will be very good, but who knows. I'd be rocking eggs and streamers, probably wouldn't quit until I ran a baetis pattern. This goes for Abiquiu, though if you don't mind the drive, I'd do it for El Vado too. Try your San Juan worms too, in all colors.

Rio Chama - December 10th, 2010

RECORDED: 
53 °
FISHING: Fair
Done, at least below El Vado. I guess by that I mean it's a normal trout stream again, with fish holding where they do and no easy pickings on big fish. So it's still worth it; just don't expect to catch fish without earning them. Red worms, crane larvae, medium sized PTs with some flash to them, jackals and sunken renegades, chartreuse eggs.
Abiquiu continues to exceed expectations, with fish being caught on all methods, including, at times, small dries. All the way down to town.

FISHING: Excellent
WTF? It's lasting longer this year, a great population of browns leaving Abiquiu to get their groove on. Craneflies a must.
Below Abiquiu, the Rapala guys are whacking them, a bad thing. But that's a sign that a streamer will work in the hands of some crazy, strip retrieving, jigging fool.
Some big fish being caught at both places.

El Vado - Crane flies, worms, beads and egg patterns, buggers, green caddis rockworms.
Abiquiu - Baetis nymphs and dries, beads and egg patterns, streamers.
Heron Stretch - Same as El Vado.
JUST GET UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I'm saying.

RECORDED:
46 °
FISHING: Fair
Up and down for big browns. One day you'll get a stack of big fish from Cooper's on down. The next you'll get a couple little guys off the bat, then nothing. Egg beads, streamers, camobuggers, worms would be my choices.
Below Abiquiu is good on baetis imitations. Seems they've stocked it recently.

Rio Chama - October 21st, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
67 °
FISHING: Poor
Damnation, the Chama below El Vado sucked the other day. I'd fished it Friday, 10/15, and caught a ton of big browns on two-toned worms and camobuggers (Chad Camocinco). Then on Tuesday, a couple of early fish and then blank. I don't know if this was the case at Heron or Sargent or in town, but we stunk up the place.
Good news is, I don't think it is a trend, and may actually be due to our bungling (I don't think so though; drifts were good, we were in various strike zones in the most reliable water, and threw the kitchen sink at them). I think the bad day was a blip an that the fishing for big browns should continue to improve until they're too vulnerable to fish for. Here's where I begin cautioning that we should all take care of our spawners (an elk hunter buddy of mine reminds that he harasses his quarry while they mate, but for some reason this doesn't make me feel much better). No sean pinche!

Rio Chama - September 30th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
77 °
FISHING: Good
I'd focus on the Heron stretch, Unser, and Sargent until the El Vado flows come down. Fish turds and caddis pupae and streamers. I would love to hear of someone fishing down by the monastery; the Abiquiu browns will be passing through there, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to intercept a few nice fish.

Rio Chama - September 16th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
78 °
FISHING: Great
Sargent is entering that mystery season, when browns are either on the hunt or on the lamm. I like gaudy streamers for them, or if I can hang to the late hours, mice.
I'd try the Heron stretch too. Dig deep into the rocks. Sharp casters should be able to get some action on protected banks and under junk.
Someone please try the monastery section?!! I know the Abiquiu lake runs are about to take the trip, and they can't all do the trip on one tank of gas. Please.

Rio Chama - August 23rd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
88 °
FISHING: Great
Sargent still, and we're waiting for El Vado to drop. Dry dropper's still doing it, though expect to see more on the nymph, at least during the slower hours of mid afternoon. Swim the rocks and logs with streamers or dries, and accept that you will lose flies doing so. Any rewards will be certain to compensate.
