Fishing Reports

Not a lot of folks, and the Guadalupe is offering some pleasant autumn daydreaming.  Fish are taking their sweet time rising to the surface, mainly because they're thinking of other things. But the fishing is good.

Unless something amazing happens over there, I won't be writing any reports on the Jemez area until 2012.  I'm hoping people will leave it alone.

Yes, the category is large.  Most streams, as you might guess, are running black, but the Guadalupe is actually fishing pretty well from the tunnels on up.  The fish are in decent health too, hitting small stimulators, elk hair caddis, and the like.  You know the drill, run a very small beadhead underneath if you must.

Talk to me in a couple months.  Honestly, even if there are some viable fisheries in the Jemez, methinks the trout over there deserve a break for a long time.  I can't imagine the food base didn't take a hit, and those fish need to eat and fatten up.  The last thing they need to eat is something with a hook in it.  Just sayin'. Nice rains though.  Oh Masters of the Universe, please keep them coming.

RIP for most of teh rest of this year.

No water, no fish.
