Taos New Mexico Fly Fishing Guide
November 2, 2011
FEBRUARY USHERS IN THE BEST EARLY SEASON PIKE FISHING ON THE RIO GRANDE. FLOWS ON THE RIO ARE MANAGEABLE AND CRYSTAL CLEAR WHICH IS GOOD FOR SIGHT FISHING FOR THESE TOOTHY CRITTERS. THE RIVER ABOVE THE WILD RIVERS IS ICED OVER FOR THE MOST PART BUT EVERYTHING BELOW THE RED IS DOABLE BEST BET IS PILAR.
COSTILLA: LOW FLOWS UNTIL WE GET A BIT OF WARM WEATHER. THE CABINS AT COTTONWOOD MEADOWS ARE STILL OPEN. CALL JIM @ 575-586-2143 FOR MORE INFO.
RED RIVER: 36CFS IN THE CANYON. FEBRUARY USUALLY SEES THE FIRST OF THE CADDIS ON THE RED. I WAS DOWN ON 1/22 AND THERE WAS A GOOD BAETIS HATCH IN THE AFTERNOON. ATTRACTOR FLIES WITH CADDIS OR PHEASANT TAIL DROPPERS AND SMALLER PARA ADAMS FOR RISING FISH. CLARITY IS GOOD AND SO IS THE SIGHT FIHING
RIO GRANDE: 312CFS IN CERRO AND 450CFS IN PILAR. WATER TEMPS IN THE 40'S MAKES FOR SLOW TROUT FISHING BUT THE THE PIKE LIKE COLDER WATER. TROUT FISHING SHOULD PICK UP IN MARCH WITH THE BLUE-WINGED OLIVES. NYMPHS AND STREAMERS UNTIL THEN.
CIMARRON: 3CFS FROM THE DAM AND 7CFS LOWER DOWN. PRETTY LOW AND SPOOKY AND THE BROWNS ARE SPAWNING. YOU'LL NEED TO COVER A LOT OF WATER HERE WITH SMALL DRIES AND DROPPERS IN THE DEEPER RUNS
CONEJOS: WINTER COMES EARLY ON THE CONEJOS SO BUNDLE UP AND FISH THE LOWER RIVER WITH STONEFLY NYMPHS AND STREAMERS.
CULEBRA: 15CFS LOW FLOW AND THE LOWER SECTIONS WILL HAVE MORE WATER. SMALL MAYFLY DRIES TO RISING FISH. SPAWN TIME SO TREAD LIGHTLY.
CHAMA: ABIQUIU. 92CFS. GREAT FLOW. I HAVEN'T BEEN OVER THERE BUT ITS HIGH ON MY LIST AT THIS FLOW.
EMBUDO: 10CFS. OVER FOR THE SEASON
LOS PINOS: 24CFS AND VERY SKINNY.
