Texas Fish Report

Lower than normal release rates have made the overall conditions here very stable through early summer. Bring the hole enchilada here baby! You could have opportunities to fish tandem midge or mayfly nymphs #16-20 under an indicator or high stick without in the proper water during the early morning, switch to mayflies or caddis adults #16-18 for some sight fishing to rise forms late morning or afternoon. The wind comes up after lunch - do not despair grasshoppers! Tie on a hopper or Stimulator and work the banks in the big pools. Terrestrials are dynamite at times on the EW and an ant pattern as a trail fly can be deadly under the right conditions. Windy afternoons are best! As the sun sinks below the rim large streamer patterns are often overlooked here and arguably the best way to hang big daddy brown! The water is comfortable to wet wade, or wear light dryable pants.
