**January 2026 Update:**
With cold temps and snow in some places, think bigger water. Rio Grande and San Juan would be a good bet, with some sections of the Chama fishing decently (call your local shop for more). Pair a bigger bug (size 8-14) with a smaller bug (size 14-20) and keep an eye out for sporadic hatches of BWOs and midges. On the San Juan, we recommend streamers in the mornings and larger "junk flies" like leeches, eggs, and red larvae.
Redds - Please avoid walking on or fishing on redds.
