Fishing Report 03/08/2112

    Arkansas Tailwater in Pueblo

  Cat and I snuck out to the river this afternoon and had an exceptional day. We got on the water about 1:30 and started catching fish almost immediately. Fish seemed to be feeding in tail outs of runs and were eating Ninjas, Winston Caddis, blood worms and grey midges. Fish were feeding heavily from the time we got to the water till about 4:00 and then they really slowed down. We landed about twenty between us with most in the 13 to 15 inch range. The biggest was a 20.5 inch buck rainbow. It is a great time to get out and observe fish in their natural spawning beds , we saw beds everywhere with lots of Bows actively getting their groove on. Please, don’t fish to fish on beds, they have other things on their minds.

   Fishing seems very easy to Cat and I right now and we tend to forget what it is like to struggle. Cat ran into a pair of anglers today and they told her they were having a very slow day. We have been hearing a lot of this lately in the shop, four groups will be in the shop saddened by their disappointing day and the next group will come in glowing from the gobs of big fish they have caught. If you have ever wanted to learn more about catching tail water fish, this is a great time to learn. The guides at The Drift Fly Shop will work very hard to give you a great learning experience. If you just want to catch the pigs, we know where they are as well, but you better bring you’re a-game. Thanks, Connell and Cat
