Fishing Conditions

It’s wade fishing time on the upper Rio, but the water is low.  Bring a thermometer and watch those temps.  Fishing is good in the mornings until about noon.

This time of year, terrestrials will be on the menu with hoppers, moths, beetles, ants, and even crickets hitting the water.  A foamy dry with a bead head dropped below is a good way to fish right now
