October Snow Day

I had a snow day one day earlier than last year!  Brrrr.  I'm missing summer days and finally making some YouTube videos of my summer trips.  

The report...

The Cimarron will be good if you want to brave the cold.  The fish will be opportunistic and will eat most anything used on a normal old dry-dropper combo.   

The Rio Grande is fishing well right now.  I haven't been yet, but it looks like many patterns are working.  I've seen reports of brown wooly buggers to little green nymphs catching fish.  The levels are perfect, so get out there and try it out. 

The Jemez waters should still be ok for a little bit longer until it gets to cold, as should the Pecos.  

I would like to get down south, but won't get down there any time soon.  Look at NM Game and Fish for relevant reports.  

I've had some really good trips to Eagle Nest Lake in the last few weeks, but soon it'll be freezing there.  The secret for fly fishing this large (for NM) lake is to find a windless day, especially in the evening.  The bugs seem to hatch well on windless days and the fish feed heavily then.  I'm not sure yet if I'm going to try out ice fishing there this year...I don't know if I'm brave enough.  

Please find me on Instagram @flyfishinggrrl.  That's where I post the most up to date information.
