After very high water that rendered the Rio Grande completely unfishable, the river has come back into shape beautifully and the fishing has been incredible. For the next week our so I’ll be plying it’s coveted waters at Villa Maria Lodge after a two year hiatus, and it looks like my timing couldn’t have been better! Even having guided on the river before, I still find myself getting pre-fishing trip jitters – fitful nights constantly preoccupied in anticipation of that narcotic feeling when your line suddenly comes tight to a 20+ pound brown after a perfect spey cast. As metalheads like to say, “the tug is the drug”, and i’m starting to get flashbacks. The Rio Grande truly is an unequaled place anywhere in the world. Stay tuned for what could be the most explosive fishing of the season!
