Fishing with the Vigil family was great today. The weather was awesome and we caught some nice fish, using an eggsan juan as the top fly and fishing various small midge patterns and pheasant tails. I switched Jeremy over to the stream and he was getting consistent action and aggressive strikes making some fun sight fishing.The fishing is good. Clear skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 44-47 degrees and Crystal Clear.
