Water Coming Down

Jasmine and Josh both guided the lower river yesterday and they both gave me the same report... The fishing is off the hook right now! Josh caught a few fish on Salmonfly dries but mostly nymphs and Jasmine said that they caught all of there fish on big Stonefly nymphs and Caddis patterns.

This lower river is now below 1000 cfs and is continuing to fall. If i had to guess our Goldenstone hatch this year should be something to see. I am looking forward to throwing some big dries this next week.

Jon guided the upper river yesterday and said that the fishing was good but a bit tough due to the falling level out of the dam. He did a one person half day in the upper meadow in the morning and a two person half day in the lower meadow in the afternoon. On both trips the guys caught the biggest fish of there lives.

Troy guided two people on one of the smaller tribs yesterday and they had an amazing day on dry flies.

Paul just came back from a half day on the lower river and said that they amazing. They were picking up fish int he deeper/fatser water with flashy flies and along the edges with stonefly nymphs.

I guess what I am trying to get at is the water in Conejos County is fishing good and it is time to start thinking about get on the water. I also want to say thank you to all of our hard working guides. You guys do a great job.
