Rio Grande - February 16th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
52 °
FISHING: Good
The pike bite seems to be at its end, at least at the more popular spots. If you want a longer lasting pike season, you might explore below Embudo Station or Garrapata (a real mother of a hike if you don't do the Miners Trail, but definitely worth it for a wild New Mexico experience).
Getting to be time to explore for trout in the Racecourse and gorge.

Rio Grande - February 9th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
43 °
FISHING: Great
The pike potential still makes the Rio the best prospect for fun. We've seen a couple 50s and hooked a couple too. Wigglers are still doing it, though less so when the moon is big enough to allow the fish to feed in the wee hours. Some carp are also showing up in packs. They'll be succeptible to well-placed shots, beadheads on strong hooks. If you can see them, your chances will spike.

Rio Grande - January 23rd, 2012

RECORDED: 
37 °
FISHING: Excellent
The pike are on it. They can be found anywhere you're willing to slowly walk the bank with your hard core peepers on. Pilar, Velarde and JDB are hot. Fish them slow.

Rio Grande - November 3rd, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
46 °
FISHING: Excellent
Still decent in the racecourse area, and awesome in the crack. If you're in Pilar, set up on the riffles, and you should do fine with medium sized nymphs, keeping an eye peeled for subtle bumps made by rising noses.
In the gorge, the Red confluence is a good place to go, but don't rule out the Little, Big Arsenics, and Chiflo. Crane flies, Gonga streamers, double browns, bacon worms, and heavy Bird's Nests are but a few of the bugs that will work for some pretty nice fish. Make sure you're presenting to the upstream faces of rocks, and for big rainbows, make sure you're running flies in the whitewater chutes. Detours up the Red and Pueblo will likely be productive with the same flies.

Rio Grande - October 19th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
76 °
FISHING: Good
From County Line to the state line, what I usually write this time of year. Streamers in the darker hours, craneflies and small nymphs throughout the day. You shouldn't fish the whole day without at least trying an egg pattern. My hunch is that the big fish will come out in the open more, especially if they've found a sweetheart to make sweet spawn to already. Sculpzillas, Barr's cranefly, micromays. Mix it up.

Rio Grande - October 5th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
0 °
FISHING: Poor
Right now, it's probably pretty gooey after the big rain. Pity because the baetis are making fish a bit silly in the racecourse area. Banker's hours, ending in early afternoon. This is when the water's of fishable clarity, which may be not for a few days.

Rio Grande - September 27th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
81 °
FISHING: Excellent
I'd left my fishing bag at home, and only had a streamer box and a lanyard that were fortunately left in my duffel. I scrounged some more and found a few splitshot on the floor. I was on the trail before sunrise to Little Arsenic, the mission being to get some fish to bite and be back to the rim before the rest of the gang and kids arrived in the afternoon. My first choice was a yellow Craven's Gonga. I was all, "Take that fish," and they were all, "yah", and I was all, like, you know?
Awesome morning. The Gonga, out of which the bejesus was smacked, wasn't getting the hookups too well, so I switched to a white Sculpzilla and began getting some nice browns and quite a few more rainbows than I expected. Then the sun hit the water, and it was over for streamers, so it was over for me.
At Chiflo the next day, nymphs worked well. They need to have some flash it seems, or size, and they need to be near the bottom. Dries didn't perform, I think because the water was a little dirtay.

Rio Grande - September 15th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
77 °
FISHING: Excellent
Still the number one stunner for vicarious fishing. Blind fishing for pike is producing even when the water's a little stained. Smallies are still good; if anything works better than the next fly, it seems to have a crayfish je ne sais pas to it, orange, yellow, and brown. As usual, hit the banks close for more smallies. They like to ambush from the rocks. Twenty inchers and red worms continue to produce trout in the race course, and up in the gorge, just tie on a fly.

Rio Grande - September 8th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
86 °
FISHING: Excellent
Pick of the week is the Rio from county line up to Quartzite. I'd fish a medium sized attractor nymph such as a renegade or prince, an anato-may, soft hackle or red worm, and trail a wooly bugger behind it in a variety of colors. Then I'd be covered for trout and smallies.
Above TJB, I'd have a small brown bugger and a small copper john. In the gorge I'd go hopper dropper, and I'd go nymphs if I didn't get action within half an hour. Those fish have been talking to me lately, saying they're ready to be fed. Send pictures; we've seen some two foot browns all over.
And there are pike.
