Rios,Rios,Rios!

Fished a couple of hill country creeks the other day searching for Rios and found them. The Rio bite was on FIRE! Fished from 1pm till 6pm and left them biting. Lost count after 20. All fish were in the 9 to 10 inch range. Had two that went in the 11 inch range. Fish were holding close to large rocks and low overhanging tree limbs. Fish were in 2 to 3 feet of water close to running current. The water was stained due to past heavy rains and fast moving current. Fish were caught with worms and were released to fight again. Catching Rios non stop with my ultra light. It just don't get any better!

Yessir, Banker I know you had a lil too much fun...still looking to catch my first one! They're not up here in North Texas...At least I haven't found any as of yet!

Those are beautiful fish! One of these days I hope to get one for a mount!

Thanks AJ and red snappa for the replies. Bite will be good all the way to till early November or until the first major cold front arrives. Great fighters and a blast to catch.

AJ the furthest North I have heard a Rio being caught was in Waco off of the Brazos River. I personally have caught lots of Rios in Austin and Marble Falls!

Chuck, we gotta get you some new photos to post. We've seen all of these several times.. LOL All kidding aside, great job and it's about time for you to come down to Travis and lets see if we can top Team Hooligan.

Fantastic! you know its summer when ever we start see'ing Chuck post those huge Rio's

Thanks Bob and Kent for the replies. Bob. It would be next to impossible to even come close to out fishing Team Hooligan. They know every fish by name in the Austin area.

One of your favorites to catch and you caught so many! Great job and solid post!

But if we could hijack their contact list...

Catching Mega Trophy Rios, now that's the kind of report I love to hear

Great catch Chuck, thanks for sharing. I'll be ready to come fishing with you in a couple of weeks.

Love me some Rios. Nice catching, Chuck!

Bob

Sooo envious of having rios in your backyard, Chuck... Very cool!

How Cool!

Well done Chuck! Beauties

Thanks guys for the replies. Seeing a lot of Rios on nest now. During their nesting they become very hard to catch.

Love that Rio action. Nice fish. Caught a bunch over the last couple of week on the fly. I have noticed this week a lot of Rios are starting to nest sit. Are you noticing the same?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! I am seeing a lot of Rios on nest! This time of year it is vary hard to get "nest sitters" to bite!

Yes Sir know the feeling!

Love those Rio post. Nice fish Chuck.




Side Note: How has the Rio bite been so far?

Thanks Gitter for the reply! The Rio bite has been very good so far this year, Creeks and rivers are producing some nice fish.




Side Note: Rios are nest sitting right now and are hard to catch! Patients is the game plan.

Thanks Fooshman for the reply!

Yea but judging your Rio postings you are still nailing em!

Yes Sir! Still getting lucky to get a few to bite!
