Fishing Conditions

The Animas: a favorite winter fishery.  Expect fishing to wax and wane, but keep at it.  Nymphs are the standard trick, but a slow and deep fish streamer wouldn’t be a bad idea either.  More than anything, get your fly size and weight right.  When in doubt, go smaller with the flies and deep with the weight.
