Rio Grande - May 23rd, 2013
supplied by: The Reel Life
FISHING: Great
The Rio has been fishing pretty damn good lately. Although the flows have been holding steady at around 300cfs, the water has been a little murky in the mornings so focus your efforts after 11am. Trout have been feeding on Prince's, Golden stones, Caddis larva and poopahs, Master Yodas, rs2's, copper johns, Anato mays, and poundmeisters for nymphs. Elk hairs, Putterbaugh caddis, Yellow Stimis for your dries. The river is getting really buggy the last hour of daylight and that has some fish are looking up.

Rio Grande - May 7th, 2013
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
65 °
FISHING: Excellent
Still great from County Line to Colorado. Fish are fat and still hungry, and the silver lining to the pinche runoff is that the water hasn't come up much or gotten too off color. Medium sized nymphs are bread and butter, and fish are in the bankside nooks predominantly. Expect hatches of small mays in the PM and just a general willingness in fish to rise when the shadows lengthen.
Pilar bonus, aggressive smallmouths in the smooth froggy water.

Rio Grande - April 23rd, 2013
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
58 °
FISHING: Excellent
It's on for reals, caddis everywhere, reasonably clear water. Good from County Line on up, all your favorite spots. We've heard green larvae and pupae, dark bodied dries. In some spots you have to wait until the shade falls to get risers, but it's the kind of fishing that will turn out the banner days.

Rio Grande - April 10th, 2013
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
57 °
FISHING: Excellent
Not (caddis) sure your (caddis) catches will be great (caddis) across the board, but it's a great time to be fishing the Rio (effing caddis). Some big browns and cuttbows are falling for poundmeisters (caddis) and deep nymphs. But you know why we're talking, because any day now, its going to be CADDIS NATION! Puterbaugh's, Hogan's caddis creations, renegades, secrets. Only a matter of days (caddis).
There might be a caddis hatch pretty soon as well.

Rio Grande - February 5th, 2013
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
46 °
FISHING: Good
Unless a good amount of snowmelt makes it to the river (might just soak up, given how dry it's been), the fishing should be decent for pike, trout, and carp. Look for pike in the usual spots with the usual wigglers and such, though jig headed things dressed sparsely have been generating some good reports. Down by Lyden, the regular old buggers are getting the carp on the dead drift. Trout will be in the riffles, and in theory they'll be nervous about pike so they might go down when it's sunny.

Rio Grande - December 23rd, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
41 °
FISHING: Good
A tossup really. After a really hard cold snap from Velarde and upstream, there was a lot of ice, and who knows how the fishing will change through the holiday. There's a rumor of more weather, but if the air temps are moderate, try fishing midges and baetis nymphs very patiently in riffles. You might get some good catches of trout. Keep an eye peeled for pike in the froggy stretches, see how if they're getting ready, should happen soon.

Rio Grande - November 7th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
65 °
FISHING: Excellent
All up the racecourse, it's still fishing. Try your streamers in the shady hours if you can get up that early. Show them across the upstream faces of rocks. When the sun comes out, don't be afraid to try a dry fly, though you'll get more consistent action with nymphs. Best that one of them is a baetis imitation, around size 20.
Chase pike if you want at the usual spots, should be easier to see with these low flows. They're spooky though, so dress right move slow, and good luck.

Rio Grande - October 17th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
75 °
FISHING: Excellent
Dries, nymphs, County Line, Quartzite, Embudo Station, and of course, the gorge. Crane flies are working great and early morning small streamers fished fast through the pockets. Streamer of the week, the good old Matuka Spruce.

Rio Grande - September 11th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
71 °
FISHING: Good
Top to bottomus, it's going to be good this year. I can feel it. Trout in the fast water, and keep your eyes out for pike, smallies, or carp in the slow. Your crayfish should be darker at this time of year, though I've seen a few green crays lately. Weird. Go to nymphs for trout should be crane larvae, small baetis, and camobuggers. Dries should be attractors and beetles, though try small elk hairs too, and don't be afraid to swing them downstream in front of boulders.

Rio Grande - August 29th, 2012
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
83 °
FISHING: Good
Roll up in late afternoon, and bring your hatch matcher box for mayflies in the 16 to 20 range, as well as mystery emergers (seeing some midge rafts washing up on the rocks). Cripples in gray and green work well for picky fish in the tailouts. Small parachutes work well too, try as many colors as you have. Klinkhammers on a reach cast.
In the gorge, fishing is really super in the morning before the sun gets over the rim. Shortlined streamers and nymphs and attractor dries. The Red up from the confluence should keep you really busy unhooking fish. Get a small, fast-sinking nymph like a copper john (tungsten caddis pupae and grubs too) under a floaty dry, and have a great time.
