Historically, February is a great winter month for fishing the Animas and the San Juan. Longer days and slightly warmer temperatures can bring on some good midge hatches and occasional BWOs. Don’t be afraid to get out on those snowy days, when temps aren’t too bad. These are the days to see fish feeding on the surface.
The San Juan has been fishing decent since the first of the year and should continue to be a great option in February. Count on Duranglers to be your source of what is happening on the “Juan” and for you flies and supplies. Marc Wethington is coming to the 5 Rivers TU meeting to report on the recent work done in the Braids. Meeting is on Monday, 2/6, at Durango Brewing (3000 North Main Ave.), at 7pm.
If it is too cold to get out, then it’s a great time to tie flies. As always, we have a complete selection of fly tying materials. If you would like to learn, inquire about our beginner fly tying classes. Call or come in to sign up and get details.
