Except during spring runoff, most of the Pecos River can be easily waded. Because of the irregular stream bottom, however, caution is advised. Chest waders are not needed, but hip waders are recommended for ease of mobility. During the summer months, it is possible to wet wade during the heat of the day. Boots should be felt-soled for positive footing on the slippery bottom. During high runoff years, the river can be dangerous from May to mid-June and it is wise to forego any attempts at wading.

Golden Stones hatch later in the summer, usually during the first two weeks in July. Two basic but different patterns successfully imitate the nymphs of both Pecos stoneflies. During the peak emergence, when the fish are exposed to a great number of nymphs, try the Whit Stone designed by Dave Whitlock. The Whit Stone is a realistic imitation and is likely to fool the most selective trout. The second successful nymph pattern, the Poor's Helgy, is an attractor used at those times of the year when the nymphs are not actively hatching.

Fly fishermen have two ways to meet their responsibility to the future: conservation and self-regulation. By informing public officials of their feelings on important issues, individuals can make a difference. One person who writes a letter to a congressman, a senator, a governor, or an editor of a newspaper is worth 100 people who remain silent. Anglers are encouraged to take every opportunity to express their opinions to officials at all levels of government. Another constructive way to add clout to your voice is to join fly-fishing organizations that seek sensible fisheries management and fight for habitat preservation.
