February 7th, 2010 It was nice to see a few people in the shop and on the water yesterday and it looks like you'll have March-like conditions again today. Mid 40s and mostly sunny today and remaining in the low to mid 40s through the ten day forecast. Flow is pretty static at 2240 cfs at the St.Regis gauge and water temp peaked at 41 degrees yesterday afternoon. Although the surface activity is mimimal this time of year, you can have a pretty good day of it nymphing if you happen to be in the right spot. Slower, deeper water in proximity to any tributary and you'll find some fish. Red or pink san juans will get most of the attention but smaller pheasant tails, prince nymphs and stonefly nymphs will also take some fish and even more so as we move later into February when the blue wings, nemoura stones and skwala stones will start to perk up a bit. All of the local boat ramps and access points are snow-free and open. There is no flow ice to speak of and very little bank ice left. With little lowland snow pack and maybe 60% in the upper elevations, we will surely have an extended pre-runoff fishery this year. Stop in or give us a call if you need a shuttle or just want to chew the fat! Winter guide service is still in the forecast!
