I posted this once before and got comments that ranged from don’t fish after April and we should be fishing for bass instead. I refer all to the email put out by trout unlimited.

Ladies and Gentlemen
It's April 1st and the seasonal leases are now closed.
Also the Scott Lease has been sold. It was a year round lease and technically still open, but let's not fish there either till I contact the new owner.
I do suspect we will loose this one too as the new owner plans to build right away.
The leases that remain open are: Maricopa, Rio Raft, #5, Action Angler, Gypsy River, River Bluff, Lower Rio. You can still fish several of the commercial outfitters by paying an access fee: Whitewater, Lazy L&L, Rocky Beach, Mountain Breeze, Bezdek's.
There is still some Trout fishing to be done before water temps get to warm to ethically fish for them. Watch your water temps and aim away from the tubers. We still may get enough rains to fill the lake to pool. If that happens and we get our sustaining summer flows we'll be able to fish through till fall. But we would need significant rains between now and May 15th. The lake is about 3 1/3 feet low as of today. Anything is possible, pray for rain!

I want to assure everyone that we practice excellent stewardship for the river and its trout population. All of us keep track of the water temperature and measure before fishing.
THEREFORE, I AM REPUBLISHING THIS POST
Today, April 5 2018, Ron DeMeyer and Pat McQuinn had a great day fishing on there Guadalupe!! Ron, on the first cast of the day caught at least a 20 inch rainbow using Dick Holte’s white wolly booger. See the video below.
Pat McQuinn was not far behind with a beautiful 21 inch rainbow caught on a pink worm!!!!
THE BIGGIES ARE STILL THERE AND HUNGRY!!!! GET OUT THERE AND GIVE IT A TRY!!!
