Fly Fishing Report
To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!
The fly fishing in Colorado has been excellent. All of the rivers have ideal flows, and the temperatures are starting to cool down. Lots of big browns and rainbows are being caught on surface patterns. Hoppers, Beetles, and Caddis patterns are most common for dry flies. Stones, Princes, Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns are common for nymphing. Various streamer patterns are working also.
Back in the Texas Hill Country, the current flows on the lower Guadalupe is 138 CFS. We recommend visiting http://www.grtu.org/flow/ to stay informed of lake level and dam release.
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 http://actionangler.net/ by clicking the “BOOK NOW” button.
