Fishing Conditions

This time of year, nymphs will be your go-to.  Lean towards the smaller side of fly size, but it may not hurt to try a stonefly nymph either.  Through Pagosa, the hot springs will help keep the temps up a few degrees and the fish happy.  Springtime is right around the corner with better fishing ahead.  Watch for BWO hatches.
