Fishing Conditions
Holy moly, are they going to keep the flows on the lower Dolores a little higher this summer at 50 cfs? Who knows, but here is to hoping. If the flows hang on at this flow for a while. Fish will spread out and settle into a good feeding rhythm. They will still be spooky, but it’s a really cool area to fish regardless.
This is mayfly water, BUT hoppers will be around too.
