Roaring River will be a little slow this week

[Steve Smith]

They are dredging the weeds out of the river this week, so expect the fishing to be a bit finicky for a while. I fished last night and it's a real challenge dodging the floating weeds and moss.

Fished this afternoon and the work was done. Still a lot of organics floating down the river but the fishing was terrific. A friend and I each caught about 30 fish in 2 hours.

I heard from my guide John Bishop, that the fishing was good, on Roaring River, his client caught over 30 fish this afternoon.

John Bishop- haven't heard that name before. Is there many guides on Roaring?

John has been guiding on Roaring River for sevearl years. He is a local on the river and knows what he is doing. He is a great teacher, he works great with kids and people that are just getting started. He and I have spent a lot of time on the river togeather, he is a very accomplished dry fly fisherma, we have been to the san juan many times. He is just a good ole boy filling a need here at the park. If you know someone needing a guide on Roaring River his # is 417-846-0010

Fishing on the river was great again today. Caught fish from noon til 5. They never stopped hitting my flies.
