Fishing Conditions

It has been a minute but we are back in action with fishing reports!  San Juan is low with winter flows, and will be a little off color right now.  Not to say fishing is not good, but go bigger with an attractor nymph with a midge behind.  Leeches, eggs, SJ Worms, or even a mop.  Swinging streamers has also been picking up a fish or two right now.  Watch for a midge hatch to bring a fish up…maybe.
