Fished the Guad yesterday started at hucho springs before lunch so we get a few in the cooler and let my son catch some he caught 2 I got 1. After lunch we went to Rio Raft and it was on. Totaled 9 with about the same amount lost. smallest was 12" the rest were 15-19" all were caught on my ultralight using a firetiger mepps size 2. At times the bites were every 3-4 casts. Did fly fish a bit and hooked into what felt like a rock it was a big trout but I think I fouled hooked it and lost after 5 min fighting near my net.

Great report. Sounds like Rio Raft is the place to go. Were you wade fishing?

yes, but right in front of where they off load tubes. I was facing up river and casting into the large, deep pool that is right there.

sounds like you had a fun time! can i ask what u were fishing with? i live close to The location u stated and im thinking of going out there, new to fishing though so dont know what to bring/use?


-thanks, Kevin

opps! didn't catch the part where u posted what u used. Thats an "inline spinner if im correct right? i have a few of those. My question now is does color/blade size matter very much?


-thanks,Kevin.

I think color does matter big time. There were other around me fishing using I think blue spinners with no bites. I have always done great with mepps firetiger color, and blue fox makes a very similar color spinner that works nearly as good.
I have also found gold super duper has out performed both copper and silver this year.

Where are the pics?! seriously where are they?

last saturday

Awesome! That is a great pic.

Here are some of the trout I caught over the last 2-3 weeks all were caught on my size 2 mepps firetiger spinner. The one with the hook mark on the side I think I hooked the week before on my flyrod took 8 minutes to fight and lost right next to the net

Those fish look like footballs! They must have plenty to eat!

Way to go, and those are great pictures, thanks for posting!
