Lobo Landing Resort

Well, get out your high water gear!  Grears Ferry is currently running teo full units.  Form what I have heard they will be releaseing a ton of water for the next week.  However, this doen’t mean that fishing is hopeless.  The water is very clear, and the fish are still out there.

 Fly fishing:

Now is the perfect time for streamer fishing.  I would use a 6 or 7 wht rod with a sinking tip line, and a 2 to 3 foot 8lb leader.  Wolly buggers, closers, and other streamers will do.  The bigger the better.  Fish from a boat and plug the banks.  Watch out, you never know when a big brown will slam one of those big streamers. 

Also try big jigs with about a 10-15 foot leader.  be careful, they don’t feel very good when they slap you in the back of the head.  (I learned that the hard way!)

 Lures/Bait.

 Bait fishing will be kinda tuff in all this water.  Our bait guides are great at it though.  The best thing to do is try and find a over hanging tree to tie to.  Double up on your weight and use a night crawler of yellow powerbait and wax worms. 

 High water is a great time to fish big lures.  Use a 6 inch Rattlin Rouge with 10lb line.  Plug the banks just like you would if you were bass fishing.  Most of your bigger browns are caught this way. 

Rattlin Rouge colors:

Fire Tiger, Rainbow & and Brown Trout, Clown, and Tequlia sunrise.

Well the fishing couldn’t be better!  The browns are still spawning a little.  There are also some great rainbow being caught.  Jamie Rouse (jamierouse.net)  caught a 33 inch brown last week!!! It was huge!!

The generation has been a littl tricky.  They are running a unit in the morning so the water is getting here midday.  They are also releaseing at night for a few hours, so we still have some water in the morning.   The water color is stained form all the rain, but the generation will clean it up soon.

I’ve been fishing on the Little Red since I was 13 years old. I fell in love with it the very first time I ever fished the river. I have taken many people on guided fishing trips and turned them on to my love. It is always a blast to watch someones eyes light up when they hook their first BIG brown trout! I love it!

Lobo landing is my favorite place to fish on the river. Chris at Lobo has done a great job with the place. They have made it in my estimation the BEST place to stay and fish on the river. The improvements and new cabins are awesome! Very nice people!

If you get a chance to get away and go “Bust” some trout, give Lobo a call. And if you need a guide give me a call. I would love to take you fishing and let you ”Bust” a Big Brown of you own.

Happy Fishin’
