Two months until the GRTU Fall River Clean Up on September 10th from 9 am – 1 pm at RioGuadalupeResort.com Check out the details at www.grtu.org or the Facebook Event. See you there!
It is much too hot to go after trout right now, plus the water is low and slow here on the Guadalupe below the dam. But that should not stop you from getting out and fishing for all the other species that are out there. I have been using my 2 weight fly rod, with a click and pawl reel and having a blast with mostly top water / floating fly’s. Use sunscreen, take water and have some fun!
Some great catches on salmon flies. It is a great time to be fishing.

I know our flows and water are not high right now, but I get lots of questions on what kind of rig to use, so here is a nice little piece that talks about rigs. I use a heavy rig pretty much all the time myself. For the Guadalupe I might keep it more simple, like a 3x leader, and 4x tippet, or late in the year a 5x flouro tippet if you think the fish have gotten leader shy. There is a link at the bottom to a YouTube vid. And if you are ever in Cotter Arkansas, this fly shop has all you need. Dally’s Ozark Fly Fishing
High water flows on the White River and Norfork Tailwater have arrived, with a long run of spring rains. The high flows can be daunting for newcomers, but offers a better shot at our trophy quality trout Former Dally’s guide Gabe Levin unveils a simple high water nymphing leader setup to get your flies down to where the fish are feeding fast.
This leader is long, heavy and gives you a headstart on catching.
Use RIO Powerflex Tippet 20lb, 12lb or RIO Big Nasty Tippet for the butt and mid section. Tie in RIO Flouroflex Strong Tippet 3x and 4x or 4.5x in the tippet.
Or you can look at the Neva Quit Butt sections and just add a long length of flouro tippet
Mostly too warm for trout fishing right now, but there are plenty of other fish in the river, Actionangler is showing us how. Streamers are working very well. Make sure to wear sun gear, and / or use sunscreen. Get some good sun glass’s, polarized, you need them all the time, not just in the summer. Protect your eyes from UV, and hooks.
