29 cfs out of the dam

Rising above Vallecito, dropped below.

It’s Fall on the Pine.  Upper reaches have been fishing well and may be worth a hike until too much snow shows up.  Flows have bumped with recent rains.  Nymph rigs will be the go-to, but don’t discount streamers either.

Below the dam, fishing will be tough with low winter flows.

Nymphs:  Prince Nymphs 12-16, Brown Wired Stone 10, Copper John 12-18, Pats Rubberlegs. Pheasant Tails 16-20, Pickpocket 12-16, Duracell Jig 12-16, and other Euro Nymph Jigs 10-16.  San Juan Worms.

Streamers: Buggers, Mousketeer, Mini Dungeon.
