General Report

[Brian Sloss]

Have not turned a report in a while so here is an overview.

Small mouth fishing on the upper river above Greer has been solid lately with streamers and crawdads. Spinning gear using various colors of soft plastic creek tubes or rebel crawdads. Downed trees are an issue, but you can get through fine. For that matter trees are an issue everywhere, but everyone that has paid attention has been fine. Too many beers can account for most of the problems that I have seen.

The trophy area has been hit or miss lately, though I look for that to improve as the water is coming down.

The white ribbon area has been fishing consistently since they have stocked the river. Whatever you are using, being deep will help your catch rate. Stonefly nymphs, Don's crawdad and San Jaun worms have been doing well. My busy season for guiding will be kicking in soon, so now is a good time to look at booking a late summer or fall trip (sorry for the blatant plug). The late summer and fall outlook is good.
