To Hot to fish for trout, but plenty of other fish

It is much too hot to go after trout right now, plus the water is low and slow here on the Guadalupe below the dam. But that should not stop you from getting out and fishing for all the other species that are out there. I have been using my 2 weight fly rod, with a click and pawl reel and having a blast with mostly top water / floating fly’s. Use sunscreen, take water and have some fun!

Some great catches on salmon flies.

To Warm for Trout, then get some Bass

Mostly too warm for trout fishing right now, but there are plenty of other fish in the river, Actionangler is showing us how. Streamers are working very well. Make sure to wear sun gear, and / or use sunscreen. Get some good sun glass’s, polarized, you need them all the time, not just in the summer. Protect your eyes from UV, and hooks.

The 15 Best Carp Flies

As many of us turn our attention away from blown-out rivers, we look to other fisheries and species like carp. Here’s a great article about carp-fishing extraordinaire Jay Zimmerman‘s favorite carp flies (and some other great info about pursuing carp on the fly).

And, I do not care if it is a carp and not a trout or a bass, if I can hook a fish of this size and land it, well, that would be fun for me, I am not picky.
