ICE OUT - Spring is here and the ice has just cleared from many of our lakes. The fish are ravenous and cruising the edges looking for a meal. Myrna B. with a beautiful bow she caught last week; nice! <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
ONE MORE CAST - Standing in pools like these are hard to leave. One more cast ends up being one hundred more casts on Nunya creek. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
WORDS OF WISDOM - We agree with Mr. Gingrich!!! <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
HARD TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS - It is always a race between the clients to get down to the river, yet as a guide we know we are not there to fish. So as the anglers run the race, we stop and smell the flowers and enjoy the scent of the decent towards multiple rises from eager remote high country trout! <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
FROSTY FINGERS - The colors on this rainbow got us to dip some cold fingers into an even colder river. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
SUNRISE THIS MORNING - Sure is pretty here in the Land of Enchantment with all the snow on the mountains. Looking like we're going to have great river conditions this year. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
WINTER IN BROWN TOWN - Senor Salmo Trutta de Abiquiu came out to dance with Nikki. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
SURE IT'S JANUARY - Time to go fishing!!! <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
EVEN SANTA FLY FISHES - Santa stopped on his way South to get in a day on the water. He wouldn't tell us where this spot was exactly but he said he got there by sleigh. Sort of like heli-fishing... Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!!!! 🎅 🐟 🎅 🐟
CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY - Santa and his lil' elf helpers sent us the special edition of Christmas Chironomids! <•><•><•><•><•> #flyfishing #christmas #fun #wildtrout #newmexico #colorado #epic #winterfishing #loeflyfishing #flytying #santafenewmexico #catchandrelease #browntrout #troutfishing <•><•><•><•><•>
BAETIS AND BLURRED LINES - It is always amazing as a guide the amount of time we spend on the water and still the river reveals its secrets selectively. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
BURRRR - Cold days with some interesting icebreaker moments. Still fun when these come out from under the ice. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
TOOTH MONSTER - Halloween is around the corner and sometimes browns have Dracula jaws! 🧛♂️ 🦕🧛♂️🦕🧛♂️🦕🧛♂️ <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
SRV NYMPH - Here is a new pattern we came up with that is crushing it. Older Catskill style with more modern materials. Named after one of the best... <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
SUNSET SESSIONS - We got to sneak away and take a few casts between tangles and dinners! Jason and Shane found a few eaters as well. <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
HIP-HOP - These little buggers have been pure trout crack for the last couple of weeks. Just whipped up another dozen this morning. Seems that with the lower clear water, these softer colors have been the ticket... <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
AN INSPIRATION - Our guide Clay had the pleasure of taking Nancy D. fishing a couple of days ago. This amazing lady is 96 (years young), very spry, sharp as a tack and a really good angler! Nancy is an inspiration to all of us - keep fishing and loving life! <•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•><•>
ALPINE MEADOW - Feels like summer is almost here. It is nice to be back fishing small, high altitude creeks with dry flies! <•><•><•><•><•>
FISH FOOD - Flipping over rocks on the Rio the other day. Looks yummy doesn't it! Tie your flies look like these critters and you'll be hooked-up all day
