The summer of neverending runoff on the Animas.  It’s clearing, but still pushy.  Float fishing will be a decent option.

Caddis and Yellow Sallies are hatching, but most fish will still be eating subsurface out of the main currents (closer to the banks).  Nymphs and streamers are your friend.  A large Dry/dropper if fish are looking up.
