Flows are really up and running this time of year and you need a lot of weight to get down to the fish in you are nymphing. The edges of the river will fish best with the current conditions. Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated as the heat is really cooking down here. Streamers can produce along the banks currently.

Best Flies: Spruce-a-Bu #8 Light and Dark, Loeberg #10 all colors, Agent Orange #8-10, Crystal Leech #8-10, Punk Park dark and light #8-12, Flashback PT #16-18, Copper Tiger Midge #18-20, San Juan Worm Brown #14, Crystal Caddis Larva #18
