Rio Grande - September 1st, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
96 °
FISHING: Great
Smallmouth fishing is great using wooly buggers and streamers slapped against the banks. Of course a trout or pike can nail you too. 14 pound pike came out last week, so keep your eyes peeled for lurkers. Down in the race course, you'll run into some smallies, but there's also a chance for trout, some really big. A client of ours hooked up a two foot brown on a red worm on Sunday. So weird the way that river can be.

Rio Grande - August 25th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
92 °
FISHING: Excellent
It's a little dirty, but nymphs and streamers are rocking the smallmouth world. I'd say forget about the nymphs and just focus on the streamers. With action please, crayfish color or flailing dying minnow color, which would be tan or white. If you can fish from a boat, I'd put in at Lone Juniper and splat my flies very close to the rocks on the east bank or under the overhanging salt cedars on the west bank. They don't really hit hard; they just grab it and don't let go for a second, which is a pretty obvious take. It's really, really fun.

Rio Grande - August 11th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
94 °
FISHING: Good
Running dirty and warm at times, but the smallies will be on it, and on cool days, you can probably coax some trout with pheasant tails, micro mays, red San Juans, your basic nymphs. Or you can stalk the tailouts for risers; for me, that would require going on a big walkabout with the understanding that I might not be encountering a lot of fish. But who knows?

Rio Grande - August 5th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
81 °
FISHING: Good
Depending on when it rains - as things muddy up pretty quickly - the Rio has been fishing well for trout on worms and buggers. If you get rained off, fish the Pueblo, which will produce on craneflies and small beadhead nymphs like Hogan's military may fished in fast water in the plunges.

Rio Grande - July 29th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
88 °
FISHING: Good
The Rio saw us through the hairy dry times, with trout and smallies getting just active enough to make people forget the mountains were on fire. Depending on water clarity, your flies will grade from the imitative to the mildly outlandish; if it's on the clear side, you might have to drop micromays or pheasant tails or tiny copper johns to the bottom and keen in to light takes. If there's rain, and you can kind of expect that every afternoon, drift buggers and red worms, or strip a flashy white streamer. I like this new thing called the Gonga.

98 °
FISHING: Good
Sure. In Pilar, throw buggers to the banks and see what smacks you. It could be anything, but I bet it will be something. If I were a smallmouth, I'd be in heaven right now. But I'm a bigmouth.

Rio Grande - June 17th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
83 °
FISHING: Good
I'd try to get me some smallies on streamers. I'm also getting ready for at least one more gorge trip before the big heat of summer comes or, better, the monsoons (I've been told to pray for a hot, dry June so the storms in the Gulf can gather strength).
If the water's too off, I find black and purple to be visible colors, or orange set off by brown or black.
Salvation nymphs in larger sizes can work well too.
If the Rio doesn't do it for you, consider the Pueblo, which still has periods of good fishing every day. Bugmeisters and Go to Hell Variants have been bringing up some nice browns.

Rio Grande - June 2nd, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
82 °
FISHING: Poor
If you want to fish the Rio, you're going to have to buy a Colorado license or get some stinkbait (I can give you some good recipes, but you're not going to like them. Or you can make up some of your own) for the catfish and carp bite. Believe it or not, there's been some snow in the U.S. of A, all of it north of here.

Rio Grande - May 20th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
50 °
FISHING: Great
But only if the flows in the gorge drop below 300. Copper johns, red and big, camo buggers, orange and brown turds (gross), and chartreuse eggs.
Down at Pilar, there are good numbers of big pike at La Piedra de Mierda de Agila. They like their flies black.

Rio Grande - May 11th, 2011
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
70 °
FISHING: Excellent
As long as the flows stay below 300 in the gorge, you should fish there if you have the lungs and legs for it. Camos and renegades, worms, turds, green Morrish pupae, Wardens, and copper johns will rock like hurricanes, even though the water's quite murky. I wouldn't fish in the Pilar area (except for the Pueblo, or except for bass), simply because the holding water isn't defined well enough. With the lower fish populations, it's kind of needle in a haystack to me, boredom creeps in. But the pockets at Big and Little and Chiflo are in great shape. While there, try the El Aguaje or La Junta approaches to the Red.
