Fishing Reports

Abiquiu for bass in a belly boat, chartreuse flies.  I can't imagine a more perfect day this side of Alaska.
Fish, some of them super huge, are still milling about in the south coves of Eagle Nest.  I'd throw a nymph rig under a big indicator upwind and let it blow back to me.  This is coyote/roadrunner stuff, i.e., they'll hit you like a train (thought I'd try).

I guess.  If you like wind all day.

If you can hack the wind, literally hack it, fish the creek mouths at Eagle Nest with yellow egg patterns and Platte River Specials.  Big fish.

Know what I would do?  A big Belgian cast upwind with a big thingamabobber with two nymphs down under, and let it drift.  At the south end of Eagle Nest.  The creeks too, fishing sucker spawn for big rainbows.

If you can stand the wind, fish the south end of Eagle Nest with buggers trailing big surface flies.  Let the wind drag it along.  If you catch a pike, please kill it. If that population gets a toehold, it will decimate a wonderful fishery.

 Fishing the coves at Heron from a belly boat is rocking.  Lakers are in shallow, about 4 feet, and are hitting bunny streamers with eyeballs.  Get up there now, because with this weather, those fish will be getting their bidness done and heading to the deep.  18 pounder is the biggest we've heard.
