Thanks Bob for the reply!  Side Note: Creeks and other water bodies are in GREAT shape!  There is a lot of vegetation.  Got to watch where you step for sure!

Nice pictures Chuck. Love those Rios.
Side Note: Where have you caught most of your Rios this year? Rivers,lakes,creeks,or ponds?

Thanks Gitter for the reply! I have caught most of my Rios off of the creeks this year! I will usually wait until mid September to really start fishing for them in the rivers and river lakes. Side Note: I have caught some nice ones already while fishing Dunlap and Mcqueeney!

I am going to have to put the Rio on my bucket list! These are very interesting fish and have absolutely beautiful markings! Thanks for sharing the pics and your knowledge of this species Banker!

Those are cool to catch, like a bonus when you hook one! We caught some nice ones last week around junction after work. They bit grasshopper flies pretty good.

Thanks Red Snappa and Lambcotx for the replies. Rios are a super catch. Beautiful fish and very good fighters.  Love watching them on a clear creek or river!

Love those Rios. Been catching a few nice ones on the fly! Nice fish Chuck.
Side Note: Only seeing a few on nest. Is their nesting cycle over?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! The nesting cycle is OVER! There may be a few nest guarding but for the most part it is over.  Should be a GREAT FALL bite for the Rios!
