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.
