Greetings, fellow anglers! Mike Winkler here with your latest fishing report for the Little Red River.

The SWPA has been keeping a consistent generation schedule, with water releases usually kicking off around 1 PM and running until about 8 PM. They've been running two units through the turbines like clockwork, and despite the daily temperatures soaring into the 90s, the fish are happy, and the bite has been solid.

The morning bite has been particularly productive. As the water recedes from the previous night’s generation, it creates ideal conditions for drift fishing from the boat. I've been rigging up with Pheasant Tail Soft Hackles and Guides Choice Hare's Ears—both have been performing exceptionally well. 

As the water levels drop, I've been switching over to a Rootbeer Midge dropper setup beneath the same flies. This setup has been especially effective in the deeper sections of water, particularly along the moss beds. Don't forget to give the oxygenated shoals a try too; they've been holding some nice fish lately.

Tight lines, and see you on the river!
