Fishing Conditions
Late summer on the ‘Miguel remains good with better flows than many of our other local waters. Dry/droppers, as always, are a good bet, but small streamers ain’t bad either.
Actually, if you were a real G, you would head out with a dry muddler, grease that bad boy, and fish it all day.
