FISHING: Good
Jemez Area Streams: Slightly cooler weather is good news for the meadow areas. Parachute dries and light tippets for late summer fish.
Valle Caldera National Preserve: Very good. Rubber-legged hoppers and black ants in the morning followed by smaller parachute dries, ants, beetles and only-the-leader-can't-see-the-fly casts over the bank edges will get as many fish as you can imagine. Trouble with vans means you should pack light and expect a tight ride.
Valle Vidal: Little change. Flows are staying a bit high with better casters rewarded for getting casts tight to the banks. It's been erratic, though, so check flows before you head out on our [url "http://www.reellifesantafe.com/great_links.htm"]"Links page" [/url]. Fishing has been good at Shuree but not for lunkers. This area is all "special trout water"; please check all the regs before visiting.
Parts North: Both the Rio Grande and Conejos in Colorado have been yielding some nice stories lately, although water levels are late-summer normal and hatches are tapering off. Sneak away for a quick trip if you can!
