Our 3-4 day battle with the wind is nearly finished and the conditions look great for the rest of the long weekend and into next week. The flows also look like they are getting used to the warmer temperatures and slowly tapering off, creating an ideal time to get out on the water. Currently on the lower and middle river, fishing dark stones such as our Sextone or Coffee and Black Pat's, size 8-12 is working well. Pairing those with tungsten golden stone nymphs, size 8-12 has been working well, especially later in the day. As always, the fish have been eating worms with the water being large and off-color, so make sure you have a complete arsenal of G-Stings and chenile San Juans, in both the single color and the two-toned tungsten versions. As the flows drop, look for fish to be eating the smaller micro-g's and micro SJ's. Other flies that have been productive on the middle and lower river include Olive and Natural Easter Bunny Poop, Salvations in both golden brown and green, Frenchies, Batman, Green Hornet, Wired Red Ass and a new fly here called the Jigged Hare's Ear.
Higher up, below Platoro, nymphing with Frenchies, annelids such as the LED, Barr's Emergers and pheasant tail's including the Hot Belly PT.
