Fishing Report 4/18

4/18/2018

I've been to a few different places to fish in the last few weeks, and here are my tips.

Nambe Falls Lake has been fished out.  It isn't worth the money.  I fished there and got one strike, which I missed.  Now I know the only good time to go there is before the fishing derby.  

Streams in the Jemez are good to go, but the popular areas are being heavily fished so it isn't as good as it should be.  Find someplace off the beaten path.  Normal old dry-dropper rigs will do the trick.  Some of the streams will be shutting down in the summer because of the lack of moisture, so make a trip in the next six weeks or so.

I haven't fished the Pecos, but based on the flow and past experience, things are starting to heat up out there.  It'll be good.

Hot spot...Cimarron River.  Even though the NMDGF website said it was slow, it seemed like conditions should be good so I gave it a try.  I was right. I fished for a short couple hours in the afternoon and caught around 15 browns (it was the kind of fishing where you lose count and get into that fishing mindspace).  A few of them were getting up to 12 inches, which I was happy about.  They hit a stimulator a few times and loved my prince nymph.  Nobody seemed to be out there.  I hate to tell you this secret, but we're all on the same team.   

​Tight lines!
