Animas Lunch Report – 7/8/16 – Throes of Summer Fly Fishing
Back in the Beaver Ponds
We are in it now, the throes of summer fly fishing. The Animas has dropped to just over 1000 cfs and is fishing fantastic with dry flies. We are seeing hatches of caddis and yellow sallies. It would also be worth your effort to throw a mouse in the evenings…
The fishing on the San Juan River Quality Waters is also getting a whole lot better. Flows are being dropped daily and with each drop, more wading options are becoming available. Sitting at just under 1,300 cfs, the Juan is fishing well with standard fare: midges, annelids, eggs, etc. However, you should absolutely tie on a terrestrial as there are a whole heap of ants and hoppers showing up.
You should also note that our high country lakes and creeks are all completely open. It’s time to grab a map and do a little exploratory mission…
