Animas Lunch Report – 8/18/15 – Trout are Hungry!
It could be because they have not been fished at in over a week, but the trout on the Animas are very hungry right now. While there are areas of heavy metal sentiment that should be avoided, the fishing (and the waterc clarity) on the Animas is great.
Flows are at around 360 cfs. Look for hatches of midges, PMDs, and Caddis. If you have to go down, small Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, and Sparkle Stones are doing the trick. Olive and yellow streamers are also a good option.
Thanks for keeping us up to date. I’m still cautiously optimistic. Trout are resilient creatures. I look forward to fishing this river once again.
We are also cautiously optimistic. Hopefully we will see the Animas improve even more in the next ten years Lucas. Take care!
