Texas Fish Report

Conditions will improve here as the month rolls on and the flows begin to decrease further. 250-275 cfs currently. The lower side has been better for sure so check the real time flow link we have provided before you drive up. At these releases some sections are difficult to wade & cross. Well weighted tandem nymph rigs using midges, leeches, PT's and San Juan worms #14-22 under an indicator are solid choices. Use smaller sizes in the short or slower water; tie on the larger ones for the deeper pools and faster runs or riffles. The fish will not discriminate as much in faster water flows and the larger flies display a better profile to be seen. Casting perch and chub imitations with a sinking tip line in the lower light times of day can also get a "leviathan" to come out from the deep or a cut bank. The water has that typical late summer tint of green to it as Bridgeport spills the algae colored water from the outlet. Early mornings are best currently, but if we get an extended cooling off period, look for the bite to begin later. I am really looking forward to this fall here for sure, it will be great.
