San Miguel
Current flows on the San Miguel are 54 cfs at the Placerville gage. While we could use more moisture, water temperatures have stayed in a nice range and fishing has been quite good. Try to avoid fishing downstream of Specie Creek in the afternoon, as mud on the river bottom has caused temperatures to increase by mid afternoon. Fish have been looking up. Try some small hoppers, ants and larger caddis patterns. If you want to fish a dropper, tie on a small Hares Ear, Juju Baetis or Pat's Rubber Leg Stone. Rain is on the way so we expect flows to increase throughout the week along with decreasing daytime temperatures.
