Oct 30 Duranglers

Late fall may be the best time of year to be on the Animas. You may catch a few of the newly stocked cutthroat trout, cuttbows, or perhaps a 24 brown trout. Its a mixed bag of good fishing that you dont want to miss.
Deeper running nymph rigs will be your best friend, but streamer fishing has gotten good, so look to huck the meat bro.
Keep an eye on the flows with rain, it may rise and blow out with late fall rains.

Late fall: maybe the best time of year to be on the Animas. You may catch a few of the newly stocked cutthroat trout, cuttbows, or perhaps a 24 brown trout. Its a mixed bag of good fishing that you dont want to miss.
That being said, dry fly fishing will be very limited with sporadic baetis hatches or the occasional midge hatch. Nymphing deep will be your best bet, but its also streamer season.
Keep an eye on the flows with rain, it may rise and blow out with late fall rains.

Patterns/Bugs:
Nymphs: Pheasant tails 18-20, Hydropsyche Caddis nymph 14-16. Splitback BWO Nymph 18-22, Juans Jedi Master 20, Juju Baetis 18-20, Charlie Cravens Lil Bit 18-20, Disco Midge 18-20, Rainbow Warrior 18-22, Pats Rubberlegs 8-12.
Dries: Griffith Gnat 18-22. Parachute Adams 18-22, Juans Smoke Jumper Baetis 18-20.
