Fishing Conditions

Fall on the Piedra can be pretty good, but watch out for rain.

Stonefly nymphs are your best friend, but this can also be a great time to fish a Euro setup. Watch for hatches of BWOs and small caddis.

Terrestrials may still be out in the lower reaches. Streamers are also a very good idea in fall.
