Texas Fish Report

Pleasant Valley Reservoir: Good

The nice weather had large crowds lining the banks over the holiday weekend and there are quite a few less fish in the Rez currently I am sorry to report. Tubers will still enjoy some good fishing from the launch ramp to the inlet casting streamers with full or heavy sinking tip lines, or using the still water nymphing method along the edges in the Rez proper. Tigers, zebras, Gillies, and crystal emergers #16-20 under a "Sungicator" (strike indicator) work great with all the midges coming off right now.

Dry dropper bead head nymph combos in the river section as well as streamers with light sink tip lines will get you away from the bulk of the people and into some fine fish in the heavy brush. Hang a PT or tiger midge below a Stimmy or Mayfly #16-18.
