Jeremy Jines. Super slow fishing. Didn’t see anyone catching.
Going to Rio Castillo tomorrow.
Darnit! We fished with Jeremy a few years ago on a lark and with short notice when our usual guide was not available...the only other time we fished Eagle Nest Lake. I did not catch a single fish, and my friend caught a couple of small yellow perch. We will not use him again.
You should catch some trout on the Costilla, but they won't be large; still fun. Beautiful valley and scenery with the narrow river running through it. Good luck!
Love Eagle nest. Caught a ton of pike there. Took a handful of 3/8 oz spinnerbaits (for bass) and caught a ton. Drop worms for yellow perch, troll for trout.
From shore- a 1/2 oz bell sinker with the hook tied about a foot above like a drop shot. The weight is for distance. Wiggles or night crawlers both work well.
By boat- same deal, just drop straight down. Move around until you hit the right depth. You can catch a 100 once you find the depth.
We caught pike wading and by boat. We always did good later in the AM. Not sure why. Look for flooded veg if there is any. The deeper water just past the veg can be great. If a t-storm kicks up- fish the windy shoreline.

We will be wading the north end. Went to Taos Fly Shop and they told us where people were having luck.

Did you fish that n/w corner along the reeds? Sounds like you gave up on the fly fishing?
Didn’t give up on the fly fishing. The guide trip was the the first time my brother and I had even held a fly rod. Loved it but have zero gear and extremely limited knowledge. We both plan to gear up and learn all we can between now and our next trip.

Treble hook?
Thanks for the great info.

Sorry about the slow reply.
Always used a singe hook. When you find the school, its can be really fun. No need to mess with treble hook.
We fish the Moreno Day Use area for pike. Hike toward the dam/outlet. there are trails from the parking lot. Its a large, long flat. wade to the edge. That area has always been productive for us.
