Thanks, Jimbo.
Alex
The world is comforting place when it gives me the gift of Jimbo’s vivid accounts of his fishing adventures.

Another wonderful installment in your ongoing saga. Thanks, Jimbo.
I love all trout, and char, but I must admit that it’s hard to think of more beautiful fish than a cutthroat.
It’s great to see a new edition of “JImbo’s Piscatorial Pursuits.” Keep them coming.
I suggest you go to Troutbitten.com and look up their standard mono rig. It’s a great place to begin.
But, more importantly, you should join the GRTU LAP program. You get lots of places to access the river, you get to talk to a lot of experienced anglers, and, most importantly, you give back to the organization that works indefatigably to make great trout fishing possible on the Guad.

As I assume you already know, the link for step 2 was up yesterday.
Sorry, I thought you meant step 1. Instructions for step 2 should be posted soon.
Not GRTU, but TU.
And yet you caught fish on dry flies and 6x tippet, right? Good work, Scott.
Saw that too. I feel like a plant that gets watered just before it dies of dehydration.
I think we need to sacrifice a goat, or, at least, a horny toad.

We’ll know soon. It would be nice to get some good rain before Canyon Lake disappears.
Sorry that I couldn’t be there to help, but it looks like our river is in good hands. I’m very grateful to you, and others, for all the hard work you put in to preserve and improve our fishery.

Hi Bill,
What Dave said is accurate. Let me add a few things. First, rocks on a wide shallow slab may not be the choice habitat of river bugs. The same rocks in a nice riffle might produce a wider sample of Guadalupe bug life. Second, this is a year of unusually low flows. I imagine that the bug population has been affected by the meager volume of water crawling down our river. Third, a friend of mine attended on of Rob Woodruff’s etymology classes years ago. Here is what he told me they found: “The entomology class with Rob Woodruff was quite good. The results were interesting, too. No bwos. Very few midges. Lots of scuds, mayflies and small caddis worms (green and tan) and damsels. A few dragon flies and hellgrammites, too. We also found a few leeches that were a dead ringer for the rubber worm I fished all summer.”
