Rio Grande - September 16th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
82 °
FISHING: Excellent
Because the racecourse is fishing, and it's close. The gorge will be a crapshoot for another few weeks or so, the Pueblo with it, but you never know until you try.
Expect tailout risers in the evening shade, fish midge clusters, parachute adams, and comparaduns.
During the day, see if dries within an inch of the bank won't bring up a brown or two. I bet they will. Otherwise, a crystal PT is a nice prospecting nymph.
If you catch a pike, please practice catch and release, TO THE FRYING PAN. Chale!

Rio Grande - August 23rd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
87 °
FISHING: Good
Depends on the weather when you go. High water temps are a possibility into September, but some racecourse fish aren't minding too much as long as they're in the oxygenated riffles and rapids. A PMD nymph seems to matter. In the gorge at Wild Rivers, fish are mainly coming out from in front of rocks to hit swung nymphs, buggers and skated dries, especially if the water's dirty. Not a lot of fish coming out of open water. It's not that they're not there, though they might all be holing up under rocks, just that the murk may make your flies tough to see. Camo buggers, red worms, golden stones, sculpins, and white flies might spark some interest.

Rio Grande - August 11th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
92 °
FISHING: Great
Since many need qualification on my fishing ratings, I'm calling the Rio great because you should be fishing it. You have this great big long river, five different species to catch, and food in many forms and plenty of hatching bugs. Grab a six weight that can fish dries, some crossover patterns that fish for pike, carp, and smallies, bring your sunscreen and get out there and have a ball.
As for myself, I'm hoping to take an August trip into the Wild Rivers section and fish from early to late with all methods. Midday fishing might not be too good (then again, it might), but I know they'll eat something (cranes, craws, minnows, mice, nymphs and dries) sometime.

Rio Grande - August 3rd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
77 °
FISHING: Great
I there's any visibility at all, I would fish the Rio from the racecourse to the state line. I would fish stoneflies, caddis pupae, and the hatch du jour in the evening. Down lower the water can get pretty warm, but I've had regular hookups recently in the racecourse with temps of 75 degrees.
Remember the smallies and pike and carp if that will float your boat. Personally, I'm psyched to get into the gorge and try to hang a big trout on a streamer. Hopefully there won't be too much rain to mess things up, but if there's enough to put a nice stain in things, I'd say the fishing should be a bit more than insanely pleasant.

Rio Grande - July 9th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
85 °
FISHING: Excellent
Lots of folks think the Rio is for the shoulder seasons, that the summer is just too hot or rafty. These people need to be learned a thing or two about how much of a blast that stream can be if things are working right. For one thing, it's close to home, and you can actually zip up there and fish an evening hatch if you want to. For another, if the water does warm up, you can take up a 6 weight and fish opportunistically for trout, smallies, carp, or pike. Just stroll around - these low flows make it very possible to do that - and throw buggers at the banks and see what pops up. And there are hatches. We've heard tell of a big mayfly making a daily appearance and quite a few caddis.
Race course through Pilar has been fishing quite well lately on all methods. Of course this is always subject to change if the weather's hot or the wrong cloudburst hits the wrong patch of bare dirt in the system. Personally, I'd try the gorge as something will be happening there at some point of every day.

Rio Grande - June 18th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
87 °
FISHING: Good
Good for a shot anyway; there are safer flows and clearer water. Smallies in the park, throw big dries or streamers near the bank for some big trout, or go pike spotting.

Rio Grande - June 9th, 2010

RECORDED:
95 °
FISHING: Poor
Still a little wait until the water clears enough to fish, probably a while until it's safe too.

Rio Grande - May 14th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
77 °
FISHING: Poor
On my rating scale, poor is as low as it will go. Sometimes I wish I had a fugetaboutit button. I'd use it for the Rio. See you when the flows come down.

Rio Grande - March 18th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
56 °
FISHING: Fair
Look for slightly stained and high water all the way to the state line. Fish the pockets very thoroughly with your favorite nymph, making sure it is noticeable in some way; big, flashy, or colorful flies will get the trouts' attention, and if you trail a small bug of some kind, you'll have a good chance at the snackers. I'd fish the gorge while you can (runoff is knocking on the door, louder every day), since the fish populations in there are higher.
The pike game has slowed a bit. The spawn is pretty much over, the fish disbursed, and it's become quite a bit more difficult to spot fish. Try John Dunn or Garapata for the highest pike concentrations. Fish Wigglers (or Rapalas, if you have one hidden in your vest). We'd appreciate any good pike recipes you might have.
