** JULY FLY FISHING REPORT
———————————————————–
To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!
Summer is here, and we are targeting the warm water species with good results in Texas. Trout fishing in Colorado has been amazing. A good portion of Colorado is experiencing low water conditions, but the lower Gunnison river will have plenty of water through the summer. Check out https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=9e3871c814&e=113d00b1e2 to book a trip (https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=520699c16a&e=113d00b1e2) , buy some gear (https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=a24e723c4f&e=113d00b1e2) or gift certificate (https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=25ee66c288&e=113d00b1e2) , or get up to speed on the latest river info.
RIVER CONDITIONS
The water temperatures on the Guadalupe are too warm to target trout. The flows on the Guadalupe below Canyon Lake are 75 CFS. This is the time to enjoy all the warm water species the Texas Hill Country has to offer. Many great fishing stories of bass biting on poppers and streamers. The Canyon Lake level is a few feet low and flows could reduce more if rainfall doesn’t increase. It’s very important to keep a watch on the river flows. Wading can become dangerous if you are on the river when the dam suddenly increases its flow. We recommend visiting https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=2dd6da327d&e=113d00b1e2 to stay informed of the lake level and dam release. Make sure to book a trip (https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=1752aad72a&e=113d00b1e2) soon to secure your date.
Flows on the lower Gunnison river in Colorado are above 600 CFS, and should remain that way through the summer. This means plenty of cold water with great hatches. Hoppers, Caddis, and Stone Fly nymphs are a few of the long list of flies currently working. The upper Gunnison river is also fishing well with great Caddis hatches. There are some great trout opportunities on the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers as well.
Please contact us if you want to experience some great Colorado or Hill Country fly fishing. Guided trips and gift certificates can be purchased online at https://actionangler.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f77c2fc981da1f0c3e323af1a&id=c17916abe4&e=113d00b1e2 by clicking the “BOOK NOW” button.
FLY SHOP and RIVER ACCESS
The Action Angler fly shop and river access will be closed to the public until mid October as we turn our focus to guiding in Colorado. Appointments to purchase items from the fly shop during this time can be made by email, or purchases can be made through or website at any time of the year. Guided fly fishing trips and lessons with our numerous qualified guides are also available by email.
I’d like to fill you in on the most recent news in the Texas Hill Country and west/central Colorado.
