Just
wanted to give you a heads up on the current fishing conditions out on
the Little Red River. With Greers Ferry Lake holding steady at power
pool levels and SWPA taking a break from water releases, the river's
running low these days. It's a bit unusual for April, but hey, that's
fishing for you!
Now,
here's the scoop: we've got rain on the forecast this weekend, which
should bump up the lake levels a bit. But for now, take advantage of the
low river levels for some prime wading opportunities. It's not every
day you get these conditions in April!
As
for the fishing itself, it's been solid lately. Caddis flies are out
and about, especially in the warmer parts of the day. Try hitting the
river with a nymph rig, using a pheasant tail soft hackle or a Guides
Choice Hares Ear under an indicator. And keep an eye out for those
rising fish later in the day – an elk hair caddis might just do the
trick when they start sipping bugs off the surface.
So
grab your gear and hit the water while the conditions are right. And if
you need any more info or want to book a trip, you know where to find
me!
Tight lines ??
