Fishing Conditions

The San Juan has been dropped, but is still off color, but fishing has remained good and is getting better.  Bugs are showing, and fish have been feeding well in the mornings and evenings.  Dry fly fishing is also an option with these hatches in the afternoons and evenings with midges and BWOs.

Streamer fishing is also an option.
