San Miguel (450-600cfs) Watch this river carefully. Although still too high to fish, the San Miguel will drop rapidly after this spell of sizzling weather melts the majority of the runoff snowpack. Water color has already changed from brown to green. Caddis, stoneflies and callibaetis are hatching in clouds. By the last week of June, hard-wading locals will be killing it on the home river.

Flows are up and will be high cold, large nymphs and streamers will be best. Water may be off color, but will start to come down soon.

Patterns/Bugs:
Nymphs: Prince nymphs 10-18, Copper Johns 12-18, Hares Ear, Zebra Midge 18-20.
SJ Worms.
Dry droppers with foam and your favorite bead head coming soon!
