San Miguel
The San Miguel is flowing at 91 cfs, clear and cool. Nighttime temperatures continue to fend off any runoff and preserve whatever snowpack we have. In fact, we added snowpack last week with a modest storm or two. Big stonefly nymphs trailing a Baetis or midge is the ticket, although trout are being caught throughout the watershed on a wide variety of subsurface flies. The fish will still be found in the slower, deeper water and should be fished slowly and thoroughly. We should start seeing some real caddis and Pteronarcys adults show up in the next few weeks.
