Fishing Conditions
It’s winter, and winter on the San Juan can mean solitude coupled with some lake turnover. This off-color water won’t make fishing worse, but you will want to change your tactics. A bunny leech with a worm or annelid can be the winter dinner bell. Have some flashy nymphs on hand too.
Patterns/Bug
Midges 18-24: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Disco Midge, Tav’s Big Mac.
Foam Wing RS-2s 20-22, Flashback Pheasant Tails, and Rainbow Warriors 18-22.
Annelids in 18-22. San Juan Worms, Egg patterns.
Grey and White Bunny Leeches, White and Blood Simi Seal Leeches #10s
