Little Red River Fishing Report

[Cody Smith]

The Little Red has been fishing great the last week or so that I've been out. We've had different water releases along with alot of rain in a short amount of time. From the Dam down to Ramsey's is quite stained but there are alot of hatches happening daily and alot of hungry trout ready for your offering. Today was no exception, My wife the puppy and I hit the water a little late for alot of acition but still caught the water on it's way up. We put in at Lobo around Noon and fished until the crest around 3:00. Evidentally AGFC stocked a few hours prior to us arriving, there where tons of fish going crazy at the ramp with a few rental boats getting in on the action. We fished from Hanging tree shoal down through the old C & R with most of the fish including a 20" Brown comming in the latter. We boated several nice fish along with your typical 12 - 14 inchers in this stretch. My wife, Billie, had great sucess using the float and fly technique along with some hard stick baits. I caught most of my fish on Bill's Deena, one of the members of this forums creation, Beefed up to a #2 with a few modification's fished on moderate sinking line.

Saturday I had the pleasure of taking one of my very best friends and His son out. It was his 4 year old son's first outing on the river and very first trout trip. Jackson and Brad boated over 40 fish for the afternoon, again fishing the rising water at Lobo. The float and fly method worked great for Jackson, his father stuck with a 1/16 oz. Brown and Orange Hair jig. It was a great Day and everyone had a memorable time.
