Area Small Streams
Current Conditions: Good
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 10:21 am
Many of the area small streams have seen heavy localized thunderstorms causing them to get muddy for a period of time, but most clear quickly. Even though we may lose a day or two to off color water, the recharging of the stream from the rain is ultimately a plus. Wait for the water to clear in a day or two and get back at it!..

Brazos River (Private)
Current Conditions: Excellent
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 10:17 am
The Brazos has had some major restoration work done by the land owners and the fishing is outstanding!!! measuring multiple fish of 22-24 inches caught on dry flies and still with an impressive population of brook trout in the 12-14 range. Size and numbers both along with the scenery and solitude of private water.... rates have increased to $125 per rod with a guide and dates are limited this year, but so far it has totally been worth it! Recent rains should keep the flow and temeratures good through the month...

Cimarron River
Current Conditions: Excellent
Current Flow: 11 cfs [Reported at 5:15 pm]
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 10:17 am
Flows have jumped from 7cfs a week ago to 53cfs. This should help fishing as the fish have a little breathing room for a change. Tricos have been swarming and caddis are always a good choice...

Red River
Current Conditions: Fair
Current Flow: 265 cfs [Reported at 4:45 pm]
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 10:19 am
The Red has seen really heavy rainfall-- including some causing mudslides-- and has been muddy for much of the month. Currently at 60cfs, the Red is right on average for flows this time of year...

Rio Costilla / Valle Vidal
Current Conditions: Excellent
Current Flow: 1.6 cfs [Reported at 5:00 pm]
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 10:29 am
Flows are at 73cfs-- a good slightly high level-- and crowds thinning out... as long as the levels stay up the Costilla should fish well. Hoppers and small stimis still working as well as some great mayfly action-- especially if it gets cloudy...

Rio Grande River
Current Conditions: Poor
Current Flow: 1680 cfs [Reported at 3:45 pm]
Last updated: 08.21.07 - 9:57 am
Continued thunderstorms-- some very heavy-- have the Rio above average in flow and off color. Not good fishing now, but should be shaping up for a great fall with lots of water!..
