Fishing Conditions

Well, heck, they are letting a little more water out of Vallecito this year!  That might mean some good winter holding water for trout to get a little bigger!  Good.

Fish a nymph rig slow and low if you get out.

Above Vallecito…it’s winter.  If you decide to make the 3-mile hike, let us know how it goes.  Expect some ice.
