Fishing Conditions
The Animas: a favorite winter fishery. Expect fishing to wax and wane, but keep at it. Nymphs are the standard trick, but a slow and deep fish streamer wouldn’t be a bad idea either. More than anything, get your fly size and weight right. When in doubt, go smaller with the flies and deep with the weight.
