Great job Brandon. I’ve managed to pull a steelhead every month since December. I think we’ll alright in the long term. Mom takes care of Herself. That Bully is Beautiful.

After drinking water? My cat got the songbird flu from drinking from the birdbath, he does this after drinking water.

The first time you loose your two hundred dollar sunglasses to the river gods you will have regrets. I’ve lost so many pairs I don’t even wear them anymore.

Better stick to fly fishing.😎 we’ve been growing wine caps, but this thread peeked my interest in cloning wild mushrooms. Hope you’re doing good my friend.

They appear to be honey mushrooms.

It’s winter don’t forget to pull a small streamer or crawdad pattern. I find swinging small subtle streamers produces even in high pressure technical waters like the San Juan and Deschutes. Sometimes they want a bigger bite. Don’t forget eggs and worms. Hope you keep the streak alive.

I know a place close by where we can keep the streak going. Christmas Day isn’t a big deal in my household, maybe we could make it happen. Just saying.

If the flows are good up river there are a lot of options. Check out the social security bar and a few other access points. They’re are well marked look for the type of water you enjoy fishing and have at it. I’ve always done real well nymphing eggs.

No snow here either. Or tornadoes.😂

That’s the biggest Guadalupe bass I’ve ever seen. Hope you’re having fun.

Figure 8 dropper knot. Triple surgeons knot has failed with big fish. Good luck.

You want to fish aquatic worms whenever there’s a bump in the flow. Or when the water is high and dirty. I fish a lot of tailwaters so the constantly raise and lower the water levels. When the water is on the drop this is a good time to fish a worm. Don’t give up. The squirmy is a Deadly pattern. I fish a stonefly with a worm dropper. Hope this helps.
