LOTS of WATER!

Fresh water that is! With the Rio Grande flooding, lots of water has been diverted into the LLM. The floodway and the Arroyo are carrying lots of fresh water these days. Tons of trash are also entering the LLM. For the last couple of weeks it has been hard to locate fish. You may find them one day and a day later they have moved. Case in fact was our Texas Redfish Series that was held last weekend. On Thursday and Friday we had located a good number of 26-28" reds near the Holley Beach area and felt that we had a winning hand for the tournament on Saturday. Not so! We were only able to secure two 25's for the day, 10.5lbs, 35th place. We have fished the same area several times in the past week and only managed a few short rats. The trout have been doing the same number. The water is off colored on the west side, almost the shade of clear green river water. We are still taking some nice trout, 20-24", on red/white gamblers and cohoes. Topwaters have been working off and on, with mostly the smaller versions of the Skitterwalk. We've had two tide days this week and it seems the bite is taking place later in the morning when the tide starts to drop. reports are that they are still catching some nice fish up North, but be careful of the debri if you head up that way or fish out of the Arroyo. We are gearing up for the Doctors Tournament on August 21. Livingston Lures is a major sponsor of this worthy cause. See ya on the water.
