South Fork of the Rio Grande

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 25, 2007 at 10:48 AM

This is time of the year is perfect for fishing on the South Fork of the Rio Grande. The Water levels make for an easy wade trip with quality fish. Grass hoppers and nympth droppers are a great way to go. Stimulators and elk hair caddis have also been fishing well too.

Rio Grande Coller State Wildlife Area

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: April 29, 2008 at 04:24 PM

Fishable, mainly from a boat using streamers, we have good success. We have high hopes that the new streamwork will add cove and structure to some of the water in the state wildlife area. Some caddis coming off, but we are getting close the runoff!!!

Rio Grande Deep Creek Rd.

Current Status: FAIR
Reported: June 21, 2007 at 08:22 AM

water levels have been dropping a lot in the last few days. Watch for hatches to reach this area in the next few days.

Rio Grande Gold Medal Section

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 25, 2007 at 11:02 AM

This section is also fishing well. It has been a harder section to fish due to the rain levels; however, it is clear now and fishing is really picking up. Again, grass hoppers and droppers are a great way to fish this section.

Wagon Wheel Gap

Current Status: GOOD
Reported: August 25, 2007 at 10:57 AM

The upper sections of the Rio Grande are holding fair amounts of water. Floats are still possible just be aware of rocks and gravel bars. Grass hopper and dropper set -ups are working well in this section too. The bigger browns are also giving a lot of action to streamers as well. Good nympth patterns have been lightening bugs, electric caddis, and good and plenty nympths.

San Juan from Pagosa to Trujillo Bridge

Current Status: FAIR
Reported: June 10, 2007 at 11:42 AM

There are Salmon Fly’s located below town around the Bass ranch. Water clarity is still questionable, however we expect fishing to pick up into next week.

Williams Creek Below Reservoir

Current Status: EXCELLENT
Reported: June 10, 2007 at 11:43 AM

Fishing is excellent, reports of grand slams are abundant this time of year! Catching very nice 15-20 inch rainbows. A 20-40 fish day is not out of the question up here this time of year.
