BLUE MESA: The last of the ice is gone this week with the warm weather, and we are full on in boating mode.  The action bite has been hot for rainbows, browns and even getting into some kokanee.  We also have a productive lake trout bite continuing and have a unique opportunity to boat fish for them earlier than normal.  We now have both Lake Fork and Elk Creek boat ramps open.

LAKE SAN CRISTOBAL: The lake will be fully open water this week with the warm and windy weather.

FLY FISHING: We have open rivers and the spring fly fishing is phenomenal before runoff hits.  We have several options for rivers and streams to fish the best bite and conditions.
