I've got to get out there soon!

You can also fish for free at Camp Hueco Springs. It's a nice little campground with plenty of bank access. Small trout only though.

I did catch a 17" rainbow at Camp Hueco Springs this year and I have seen someone else pull in a nice one, but generally speaking they are pretty small.

im staying at Lazy L & L on river road, is the trout fishing any good around this area, if so what should i use to catch them, im a bass fisherman from choke canyon not to familiar with trout, tried a little rattle trap but no luck, do thet stay in the rapids or calm water

you can catch some trout there, hopefully someone else will chime in that knows more. but don't overlook the light tackle bass fishing there. small plastic crawdads and weightless smaller "flukes" will keep you busy too. might even hook into a 3 lb smallmouth after breaks in the rapids!

use roostertail or super duper or panther martin fish just below or above rapids

so right in rapids or right before or after? I cast in running water and the lure wont stay down cause of the swift current, is that ok to keep fishing like that or should you put wieghts on it to make it sink a little, new to this whole trout deal, love fishing and just wanna learn so i can catch a few

i usually dont fish rivers much but i have caught them where the water slows to a few ripples about 20 feet downstream of the rapids or upstream also. maybe kyle knows better he is the river man it seems

ok thanks anything helps, and yeah maybe he will reply

i used to go too lazy l and l years ago i saw some biguns just downstream of those rapids down there

awesome, so like maybe spec rigs or rooster tails might work? How about a tiny rattle trap, what do you think about that?

i get a roostertail at walmart. i dont know anythin about spec rigs. these are rainbow trout. pretty easy to catch i think. if you dont catch anything there than go to rio raft and fish just up from the bridge. 5 bucks to fish. thats what some tff members are doing i hear

thanks a lot, really appreciate it

For the people complaining about the stocking of trout instead of "native" bass, there is this little thing called water temperature. Once the fish are stocked, they will move dowstream away from the trout water. That is why they arent stocked. This is the usual occurrence in a bottom-draw dam. Thats the same thing that happened to the White River smallmouth fishery. Now its trout. But for some reason, this fishery is not cath and release with a restriction on bait. If you want to meat-hunt for trout, go elsewhere....

wow. way to jumpstart this thread with a sermon. go preach somewhere else.
on the bright side looking foward to some more of kevin's reports.
if you read this kevin we need to give it a go on the river this year. just need to sharpen my fillet knife!
