November 25, 2012
Flow: 83
Water Temp: 47
What an incredible weekend. The Arkansas River tail water faced unprecedented pressure. It is sad in a way, Ben and I started all this and now face the idea that the precious fishery we have has been discovered by all. In any case the fish were very selective and the browns are almost over their amorous mode. We are settling down to the winter cold with very selective fish and gin clear water. The flow is down 10 CFS from the "normal” because of the drought. Remember, the flow out of the dam is not the actual flow. The hatchery below the dam adds 20 to 30 CFS approximately ¼ mile below the dam. Recommendation??? Size 20-22 black midge patterns, small copper johns, (Red), pink egg, orange egg and the browns were attacking the ubiquitous Red San Juan Worm. Go figure??? In all a gorgeous weekend fishing in the banana belt!! Stay tuned to an important announcement from Steel City Anglers!!
Tight Lines,
Lou
