Deckers and Cheeseman Canyon As of 8/10/2018 Flows are up, even above historical averages giving the fish a break from the warm water temps. Summer hatches are on in the Cheeseman/Deckers area so try some Caddis and PMD’s in the morning and watch for some Trico hatches as well. With high flows, try bigger nymph patterns to grab their attention and most importantly get down past the fast currents to the fish feeding on the bottom. Warm water and high flows mean a lot of trout will be holding in faster rifles instead of the deeper holes where oxygen is more abundant. San Juan worms have reported some catches as well as leach patterns. Flows: Deckers 350 CFS Canyon 340 CFS
