  Terry Gunn, owner and operator of Lee's Ferry Anglers (http://www.leesferry.com/), says that during the summer most areas of the river are covered in hatching midges and there are clouds of spinning midges hovering above the trees.
  
  The midges are hatching throughout the day but appear to be most prolific in the morning.The trout are selectively feeding on the emerging midges in the mid-water column as they drift to the surface.This makes for some challenging, yet often rewarding, sight casting," Gunn explains.
  
  He adds, "There are days when I change flies repeatedly until I find the one that the trout want to eat.Using a 7x tippet, long leader and a perfect dead drift are an absolute necessity to fool these selective feeders."
  
  While the best fly-fishing at the Ferry this time of year is typically at first light and in the late afternoon, spin anglers actually have an advantage – they can go deep for the big ones just about any time during the day.The larger trout turn predatory and feed on smaller trout and bait-type fish.

  Terry Gunn, owner/operator of Lees Ferry Anglers, has watched many of those changes in his years on the river.However, late summer brought an alarming change.This year the river flow was down to 8,000 cfs.The tammies exploded.There's so much growth, it may not allow river access next year.With river access already limited, any additional construction could really discourage fishermen and other users.But more importantly, according to Gunn, it's impacting spawning areas.The gravel won't be there.Tammy, tamarack, salt cedar and tamarisk are names referring to about 55 species of deep-rooted deciduous trees and shrubs native to the Mediterranean area and found eastward into northern China.Tamarisks make up the genus Tamarix of the family tamaricaceae.Used for ornamentation, windbreaks, erosion control and bank stabilization when introduced to the U.S. in the 1800s, tamarisks have spread like wildfire into 23 states and virtually every drainage of the arid and semi-arid Southwest.According to a 1996 report, tamarisks have replaced most of the native vegetation in more than a million acres of riparian habitat and are expected to overwhelm another million acres by 2006.Gunn and other river lovers have reason to be wary of this aggressive plant.Tamarisks can send a primary root down nearly 100 feet in search of water and spread roots nearly 150 feet horizontally.Some mature stands can grow to a height of 40 feet or more.An average-size plant can produce 100,000,000 seeds in a single reproductive period, dropping approximately 70 viable seeds in every square inch of surrounding ground.Seeds can maintain their viability for nearly a month in direct sunlight, nearly two months in the shade, and can winter over in moderate climates.All they take for germination is two hours of exposure to water or high humidity.Tamarisks can germinate during the day or night, even while floating on the water.
  ...
  Gunn encourages all anglers to take a break from fishing for an hour or two and spend that time pulling out the non-native tamarisks.Gunn is also concerned because he has detected a change in trout behavior."The fish are already changing spawning behavior because they can't get into traditional spawning areas.I won't be happy until spring and summer shows us what's happening.We'll wait and see."A potentially far-reaching experiment in tamarisk control will be conducted by the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council later this year.A 10-acre plot is being cleared of non-native plant species and being replanted with cottonwoods and willows to see if it can be reclaimed.
  ...
  Terry Gunn is concerned about the impact of a non-native plant on an introduced fish species in a man-made tail-water, a non-native plant that has displaced native species and is now the last home of an endangered bird species.

  For starters, "If the humpback chub is in decline, it's a result of the Glen Canyon Dam," said Terry Gunn, owner of Lees Ferry Anglers fly shop and guide service."There is really no strong scientific support that trout prey on humpback chub."
  
  Scientists with the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Flagstaff-based Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center agree there's little evidence that trout prey heavily on chub, which have steadily declined since the dam was built in 1963.But the researchers say it's time to try whatever might help restore populations.The fish live nowhere except in the Colorado River.

  Arizona Proposed Regulations - [Cached Version]

  Terry Gunn , owner of Lees Ferry Anglers , is worried the war on non-native species will extend into the premium trout water between the dam and Lee's Ferry.
  ...
  This proposal has national ramifications on sportfishing , Gunn said.If Arizona enacts this new law and other states follow suit , sportfishing as we know it today will be changed forever..[ The proposal also recommends increasing the state's two-day trout limit to 12 per angler from the present limit of six.It also suggests setting up a catch-and-release area for trout fishermen on the Salt River below Saguaro Lake if adequate flows can be acquired from the Salt River Project.These two recommendations are not related to the Endangered Species Act issue but the commission may appreciate your comments on these proposals as well.The National Park Service is also considering new regulations for Yellowstone National Park that could increase angler harvest of non-native species like brown and rainbow trout in waters formerly inhabited by West Slope cutthroat trout and fluvial Arctic grayling.Click here for more information on the Yellowstone Native Species Restoration Plan.

  Fly Fishing for Rainbow Trout in Lee’s Ferry, Arizona - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 2/1/1999    Last Visited: 9/6/2007  

  Terry Gunn, owner of Lee's Ferry Anglers, cradled the trout in his hand as he gently removed the barbless hook.Pointing to the brightness of the gill, Gunn explained that the color indicated that the fish was spawning.
  ...
  As the sun warmed the day, we gradually peeled off layers and fished in lighter clothes, as Gunn told us tales about fishing in the cold.He remembered the temperature of the same day of the previous year-a frigid 17° F. The lesson?If you want to fish in the winter, Polartec fleece, down jackets, neoprene waders, plus a warm hat and fingerless gloves are in order.And while it might be cold on the Upper Colorado, the fishing is at its peak in the winter... and many other U.S. rivers are frozen solid.
  
  Terry Gunn knows the Upper Colorado.He knows the curves and bends of the river, its tides and currents, so well that he calls it his "office," We progressed along the river, Gunn either anchoring the boat on a sandbar (always keeping an eye out for the possibility of a rising current) or tying it to a tree along the shore.
  ...
  But Gunn knows more than flies.A trip with Gunn is more than just a fishing expedition: He knows the geology, the history, the archeology, the flora, fauna, and birds of the region.
