Jimbo – great essay, as usual. You should emulate Jay Walden from Abe’s and write a book.
Alex – count me in as the guy who catches only one fish (like today, even though it was a beauty 18″+ bow) but is REALLY appreciative of that one fish!. I count myself as an avid fisherman, but hope someday to be an avid catcherman.

Typical stuff for there – small nymphs in red, black, cream; brownies liked the egg patterns. Late afternoon hatches, particularly in the flats below Texas Hole, mainly some baetis and midge clusters. Water is crystal clear now, flows were about 500-600 so easily wadeable. Good luck!
Sorry to hear it. I fish the Juan several times a year (family in nearby Aztec) and always spend some time and $ at Abe’s. Jay Walden is also there – he’s a fishing author/part time guide and what passes for local color. Overall that’s a great place, and I think it was all started by Abe when they built the dam there. Passing of a legend.
Hard to say. Some areas that are good for bank fishing require you to cross the river first; some that are good banks may be underwater at present with the high flows. Probably no other way to know but to go and check it out. Haven’t been out yet, but that’s my plan over the holiday.
