Rio
Grande
details and
fly fishing reports
The Rio is an awesome river with a lot of diversity in insect
hatches as well as fly fishing techniques. Imagine insect
hatches so thick the trout are boiling in every eddy and
pocket.
The action is non stop with rapid-fire casts of
big dries to aggressive trout. This helps make this float
trip one
of the seasons best.
This
river flows from Rio Grande
Reservoir,
located near Creede Colorado, and flows southeast towards
New Mexico. We base out of South Fork and Creede Colorado
offering guided float trips on 30 plus miles.
If
you like streamers and dries than this is the river for you.
Streamer fishing in the late winter and spring gives
way to dry fly fishing in early summer. Dry patterns are
large,
fluffy and easy to see. Fall angling can also be great.
The
Rio is primarily a brown trout river with some nice bows
and cuts. Fish are very gullible and range in size from 12
to 16 inches and you always need to be ready for a monster.
If you are into scenery as well as numbers of fish to the
fly,
than
this
place fits
the bill. |
