The generation schedule on the Little Red River has been pretty predictable lately. They're usually kicking things off around 2:00 PM and running two units of water through the turbines until about 8:00 PM. This pattern has held steady for the last couple of weeks. On weekends, they've been scaling it back a bit, with around two hours of generation starting at the same 2:00 PM mark.

Despite the daytime temperatures climbing into the upper 90s, the bite has remained solid. The fish seem to be thriving under this current generation schedule, and we’re seeing good flows even with the heat.

If you're heading out, the best action has been early in the morning before the heat sets in. As the water starts to recede, target the deeper sections of the channel, especially around moss beds. These areas offer shade and are loaded with food, making them prime spots. Don't forget to check out the oxygenated shoals with plunge pools below – they're a great place to find fish.

As for flies, the current hot picks include Guides Choice Hares Ear, Pheasant Tail Soft Hackles, and Rootbeer Midges. Happy fishing!
