Flows were 15-25cfs most of the month and water temps were getting into the mid 60*s by mid afternoon. Fishing was excellent with Stimulator #12 as the Stonefly hatch was in full bloom. On 6/17 a client took a 17″ Brown on the Cita with a dry Stone. In late June flows dropped to around 10cfs and you had to cast long to not spook the fish. Temps were a problem on sunny days in the afternoon.

Conejos River Fly Fishing Report 06/25/2003
Again not much of a snowpack this year with minimal runoff and very little water stored in Platoro. Flows were 125cfs in the Pinnacles and 260cfs in Mogote. Tough wading in the Pinnacles but fishing on the Flywater along Hiway #17 was good especially during the Geen Drake hatch from 11am-2pm on most days castin to rising fish. It was only fair early and late.
