How did you swing the chance to fish on Philmont property?

I have fished the Cimarron many times but never at that location. It gets hot that time of year, and the water gets hotter as you go farther downstream from the dam at Eagle Nest. The fishing generally gets progressively worse below the special trout water. Maybe there are some spring fed sections of the lower river where the fishing is still good, but it is all private property.

The main insects in August will be caddis and hoppers. If I recall correctly, the caddis tend to be around size 16 and olive colored.
