Be fire-prepared in those creeks. Attractor dries and bow and arrow casts are the ticket. Consider working out those trout recipes for creeks like the Chiquito, de la Olla, Rio Grande del Rancho; the browns are way overpopulated, to their own detriment if not that of the cutthroats.

- Fishing: Good
Rio Pueblo over by Sipapu is on the verge of true love. Fish it real tight and close, maybe a floaty dry followed a foot or so by a tiny tungsten.I like Hogan's steelie may in purple. I honestly don't think they'll be picky if it's in their face. Get out there and pray for rain.
Taos Area Waters - February 16th, 2012

The Red River is the ticket throughout its length. Small eggs, green caddis larvae, and Johnny Flashes stretched between your shot and a heavier bottom fly will work fine.
Taos Area Waters - January 13th, 2012
- Recorded:
- 46 ° F
- Fishing: Good
I'd hit that, the Red I mean. Small streamers and green caddis larvae on a short line. Your favorite worm pattern or cranefly should put you in the running too.
Taos Area Waters - November 3rd, 2011

Probably more than anything, a nice walk can be had. If the water is warm enough, and the fish are rising, you will catch them on whatever junk you throw. Otherwise, understand that you will be snagging a lot if you fish nymphs with any weight in them.
Taos Area Waters - August 11th, 2011
- Recorded:
- 91 ° F
- Fishing: Excellent
Like everywhere, things are low (Taos Creek is bone dry), which means dry flies on the small side, less good fishing during the heat of day, but perhaps good fishing during an afternoon rain. I like the attractor dries, though with water this low and fish so visible, it might be a good time to work on your sight nymphing. This is a very important skill to add to your quiver. Try ants all over.
Costilla in Valle Vidal is still fishing well. High water mid week, low on the weekends generally. Hoppers and small dries and tiny nymphs such as pheasant tails, chrono cones, or red annelids.
Los Pinos has been on a roll with light weight nymphs and small dries, you've heard it before.
