Lately the Animas has been fishing decent from about 10 to 3. Sculpin patterns (streamers) seem to be the ticket although we have seen midges are coming off and, as the weather continues to moderate, we should see more fish looking up. Look for days with moderating temps and get out there before the low elevation snow dirties up the Animas. If no serious bug activity, nymph with small buggers or big Prince nymphs or rubber legs and a midge or caddis pupa. And, don’t forget the streamers, especially if the water colors up a bit.
For now the San Juan is fishing well. SJ worms, analids and midge patterns have been the ticket as well as buggers and Baetis patterns.
As always, we are available at the shop for up to the minute fishing reports, license needs, flies, leaders, tippet, and equipment. And, don’t forget, we continue to have various hard and soft goods on sale.
Two, not to be missed, events should be on every fisher persons dance card. The upcoming “Fly Fishing Film Tour 2012”, Saturday, April 7, will be an action and big fish packed evening of entertainment. Tickets for the film tour are available at Duranglers for $12.00, at the door for $15.00, or online for $14.00. In addition, Duranglers is again hosting a 2 day Fly Fishing Festival, Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7. Reps will be on hand to discuss the latest equipment and techniques and Charlie Craven (Charlie’s Fly Box) will be doing a fly tying clinic. Check at the Shop for schedule of events.
