Small Stream Tips

Video Pro Tips: Small Stream Strategies


Written by: Phil Monahan


Here are a couple of great small-stream tips from Elliot Barnes at Bow River Troutfitters ib Calgary, Alberta. The first video explains why you shouldn’t walk past long flat-water stretches of a creek because they look featureless. Bankside structure might actually feature plenty of good trout lies, and these fish might not get fished to as much as those trout in riffles and pools.

The second tip is great for small stream, but it will also work wherever the current is pulling on your fly line and causing your dry fly to drag. Bu high-sticking the fly and keeping as much line off the water as possible, you can achieve a drag-free drift. Just make sure you approach with stealth and use the broken water to conceal your silhouette.

River Clean Up Sept 15th

The Cleanup will be on September 15th at Rio Raft (same place) beginning at 9AM and continuing through noon.  Lunch will be served.
The San Marcos and New Braunfels chapters of Keep Texas Beautiful as well as 3-4 boy scout troops, have been contacted also.
The information should be posted on the http://www.grtu.org site soon.
Take care and I look forward to seeing you next weekend.
Kind regards, Ron McNamara
I will update with any changes.
