Fishing on the Salt Fork is over for this year. There are hundreds of catfish and carp carcasses.

Low water, hi temps?

Went to Beaver River Reservoir today with a friend and our wives. We each caught a limit of stocker rainbows for a fish dinner tomorrow. Girls didn’t want in the pic because they weren’t “pic prepared”. Lol!

There’s no water except in what had been the deep holes.

Spent the day on the San Juan river yesterday in the trophy area. Catch and release with barbless hooks.
Never got a single bite all morning so after lunch went back and started flipping rocks to see what terrestrials were in the area and went back to fishing. Caught a few small ones but about 3 pm the sun peeked through the clouds. The bite was on!
Within 45 minutes picked up three rainbows, one of which tied my personal best of 24” length and two more that were 25 and 26” long.
Funny story behind the scenes. In the first pic you can see the line is hanging limp from the reel while holding it in my teeth.
In the second pic, the line is tight because another trout hit the fly dangling in the water just about jerking the rod from my mouth. Learned my lesson on the third pic!
Turned out to be a great day on the water.

Nice! I grew up fishing in New Mexico for Trout. I’ve caught many different types of fish since then but nothing quite matches an angry trout on a fly rod!

"nothing quite matches an angry trout on a fly rod!" Said no Bass fisherman ever!

I’m going to get up early and try a little top water action for bass.

Have you fished the Whopper Plopper?

I like them too. I picked up 6 brand new whopper poppers from another member Tuesday. Gonna keep 3 and sell the others if your interested.

Thanks but I have four of them now.

I've got plenty of big ole yellow grasshoppers if you want the best fish bait. You just have to catch them.
