Of course that new Lazy L&L lease will not be open till Nov 1st because it a new lease this season. If you are driving downstream on River road, you will pass River Bluff, then there will be about 5 or 6 houses on the left, the first large open spot with a green metal gates is the new lower Lazy L&L site. There will be a lock on the gate with our new combo Nov 1st. And of note it is a seasonal site Nov 1- March 31.

The last couple of years the password has been the new combo for the locks. Not sure what it is this year and remember the leases for this season (2019-2020) are not open till Nov 1st anyway (old year round leases are still open for the 2018-2019 season).
The new lease is about half-way between River Bluff and Lower Rio. It makes it easier to get down there for older gentlemen like me. It also adds more parking spaces and makes it easier to spread out. Last year there were a bunch of fish right in that riffle below the old Cable Pool. Getting any new leases in spots where there is wadable water is getting hard to come by. Dan Cone and myself are still trying to add something around Whitewater/306. Hopefully we get something before the first stocking.

Watch for the home page for the meeting’s announcement. The board has been trying to make GRTU meetings more accessible for members in other locations like Austin last year. So I haven’t heard where the first meeting is going to be yet, but I bet you at least one meeting will be in someplace like Houston or Dallas this year.

Water temps coming out of the dam are still pretty good considering the lack of rain over the summer. That being said, the main problem we have right now is the air temps still well into the 90’s. This heats up the water coming downstream pretty quickly at these flows (110cfs https://gbra.org/). When we start seeing overnight temps in the 50’s and day temps in the 80’s the cold water will get further downstream and we can start fishing again without much to worry about. So watch the forecasts, and take water temps when you go. Many years I would already be fishing by now, but these 90+ days have kept me off the water. I am still waiting myself a while longer.

I talked with them on Sept 22. It should have been granted by now.

They will start matching inflows as the Flow Agreement period is over.
It’s time to roll out the drums again……

Don’t overlook coming to our General meetings. There’s lots to learn and people to meet.

On the GRTU home page, at the bottom, click on “contact”, then all the board members information comes up……

I wrote to the Flyfishing Addicts administrators to request access for GRTU members. Let’s see if this speeds things up?
Jimbo
Alex when that happens, report it to Dan Cone V P of Fisheries. He can then contact the land owner for the appropriate action.
Jimbo
One other thing. I remember that when I applied for access to all of Flyfishing Addicts Forums, I had to wait several days to get approval. Consider that their Location Forums are much like our Lease Access Forum and restricted so as their more sensitive information that their members talk about will not be available to just anybody. Did any of you ever hear back from their moderators about being accepted or denied?

One more note, for willful agregious violations, a lifetime ban from LAP membership is a possibility. I have given one such lifetime ban to lap member for knowingly, willfully rules violation.

OK,… That’s a lot of work to change all the image codes. Maybe I’ll cherry pick a few of the day’s stories and post some.

I’ve never experienced anything like what has happened to you. Several times I have randomly been knocked off our site, but all I had to do was click on forum and then when my data appeared in the right corner I would click on log-in and everything opened up again.
The story is in “Rocky Mountain” section of “Locations/Reports”. I have other posts in “Other Destinations” and “Southwest”. There are about 8 years worth of stories there as they do not purge their site of older stories. Do you even see “Locations/Reports” without logging on? I’ve been logged on to both forums so long I don’t remember what it is like before I became a member.
Jimbo
I just thought I’d tell you I’ve finished all the stories about my 5 week Summer Trip.
This year had it’s ups and downs, but I did learn for the experience. Hope you enjoy it.
