Fishing on the Animas

The Animas has been running low and clear and we got out a few times this weekend. On private water south of town I was almost exclusively nymphing, but did see some fish (smaller) rising around 11am. A fat and strong 18" bow got into a size 14 beadhead nymph after a few hours of casting. After a tiring fight he was in my net and swimming away in a few minutes. A fat, healthy, wild rainbow. I was surprised that he wasn't over 20", but it was a nice fish. The pic below is not my fish, but similar in coloring.

In the evenings we went down to the Ute water on the Animas. They recently stocked the water and it's fun to catch 10" bows on dry flies. Those stockers jump out of the water almost constantly in good stretches of the water. I'd like to know how often and when they stock this section of river. Fishing in these conditions is not entirely "sporty" but it's fun.
