Rio Chama - August 11th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
87 °
FISHING: Great
Hopefully, you'll plan a Sargent trip for a cloudy day, since the bigger browns in there become more active and adventurous in low light conditions. The water levels should be at July levels still, which means all methods, less spooky fish, and enough water for two anglers to fish without recycling each other's water. Herky jerk streamers in the shadows of boulders and you might get a nice surprise or two.

Rio Chama - August 3rd, 2010

RECORDED: 
75 °
FISHING: Excellent
I'd do the Sargent, my fantasy would be with an 8.5 foot five weight. I'd limit myself to a streamer box and dedicate myself to losing them all in the bushes or to big brown trout. Or I'd fish big dries and droppers and lose those too.

Heron stretch, boo! Sargent, yay!
Irrigation is in full swing, so if it doesn't rain enough to cool the valley, the water will get too warm for consistent full day fishing.
Above town in the Sargent, however, flows are still robust and fresh. Hike about a half hour up from the green water tank, and fish a stimmie, humpy, or hopper. Trail a crystal pt or a jackal (size 12 to 8), and your cares will melt away as though you were in a nice hot bubble bath (some folks go for that kind of thing; not me of course, never).
As I usually say about the Sargent and probably always will, bring a friend, a timepiece, and a good idea of when you'll need to begin hiking out so as not to end up with a broken leg or on some cougar's dinner table. I guess you'll end up the same either way.
At Heron on downstream, cuidado con las snakes, especially if you bushwhack.

Rio Chama - July 1st, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
76 °
FISHING: Excellent
The river should fish fine in all stretches above the dams for at least a little while longer. The hot weather forcasted for this weekend could put an end to that in the Heron stretch. Maybe get out there a little earlier, fish hard in the cooler hours, then take a break before coming back for a late hatch of sallies, caddis, and we're seeing a biggish black mayfly spinner (#14) in the later part of the day. Bring bug dope and, if you fish the Sargent, a partner. I know I always say that - even though I never adhere to my own advice - but that's some wild, ankle twisting, bear or cougar whooping your assing, country. Fish double jackals, PMD cripples, tan elk hair caddis, wire stones, Morrish pupae, and don't be afraid to throw the streamer. Tight lines work best, though cloudy skies work better.
If you're fishing the Brazos, it's dry fly heaven. Thingamastones, the latest in bobber technology, are working wonders.

Just like that, she's big and fat, figuratively that is. Stoneflies are fluttering, PMDs at the Heron stretch. Won't last long. Haven't heard about the Sargent, but I'm on my way. It absolutely can't be bad. Rubberlegs, Mme X, jackals. Pull out the stops.

Rio Chama - June 12th, 2010

RECORDED:
84 °
FISHING: Excellent
This just in. With flows in the low 300s and dropping, the time to get on the Heron stretch is now. I mean now, before irrigation starts to superheat that water. Turds, jackals, CJs, Wardens, crane larvae, camo buggers, and crayfish. I'd carry some SJ worms too. On top, run the gamut of big stoneflies and attractors. You will find what works, guaranteed. Just keep working, but things won't stay this way for more than three weeks. Move it!

Rio Chama - June 9th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
88 °
FISHING: Fair
Water up in the Chama valley should at least be clear enough to throw into, Brazos too. This means you'll probably tag something if you can get it into some holding water. The big Sargent fish should be down low a bit, near town, so who knows what kind of ugliness might rear its head. I'd throw some depth charge stonefly or streamer pattern and prepare to lose some flies on snags.

Rio Chama - May 26th, 2010

RECORDED:
75 °
FISHING: Fair
Who knows? The releases at El Vado are very low, but only until the weekend. Please try it with stoneflies, cranes, and small olive crayfish imitations. You might be surprised. Forget about the rest of the river unless you're in a kayak or have a death wish.

Water flows have come up .... a lot! Between 1,700cfs and 2,000cfs in all of the areas of our interest.
