From: 03/07/2015
To: 03/14/2015
Type of Water: Freshwater
Species: Sea-Trout
172 fish were landed. 40 fish over 15 pounds, 7 of these were over 20 pounds. The average weight was 9 pounds.
FISH OF THE WEEK
Greg Dixon landed a 25.5 pounder female in Herradura “Horseshoe”Pool.
Fishing improved considerably compared to last week. The week began with the river low and clear. On Tuesday the wind raged up to 82 mph, so the water got dirty for a couple of days. Monday night there was a heavy rain in the mountains. On Thursday, when the river was clearing up after the wind it got dirty again and raised a few inches. I think we needed this; some kind of change in the river. With the river a bit higher the fish moved a little and got more aggressive.
Air temperature was between 41° F and 63° F. Water temperature was between 40° F and 52° F.
