Nice fish Chuck! You have been nailing Rios throughout this winter! I have not caught any but I have only been using spinning and fly gear. Hope to catch a bunch on my flyrod this year. When will the Rios start to spawn? Side Note: The local water bodies are looking super good!

Thanks Curtis for the reply! The Rio should start spawning in late March or early to Mid April. They should be moving into shallow water during these months. I would say from late spring till late October you should have a great time catching em on the fly!

Thanks guys for the replies. Clayton. The one with a bump on the head is the female! Hope to get some BIG ONES this year! Conditions are going to be GREAT! Side Note: She had already developed the rash they get usually in the late spring and summer! A biologist said they can get the rash if there has been a mild winter which we had! Only effects Rios along with their "War Wounds" (rashes and cuts they get for fighting other fish).

I would say from late spring till late October you should have a great time catching em on the fly! Have not seen any on nest yet. I did catch my first one of the year while fishing Mcqueeney. It was a good nine inch. She was in about 6 feet of water by a gravel bed.

Nice Rios Chuck! Looks like a great Rio year ahead! Where do you think you will catch the most Rios at this year? Rivers,lakes,creeks,or ponds? Again nice fish.

Thanks Gitter for the reply! I catch most of my Rios in rivers! Creeks would be the second place. It should be a super year for catching them!
