I'd hit that, the Red I mean. Small streamers and green caddis larvae on a short line.  Your favorite worm pattern or cranefly should put you in the running too.

Probably more than anything, a nice walk can be had.  If the water is warm enough, and the fish are rising, you will catch them on whatever junk you throw.  Otherwise, understand that you will be snagging a lot if you fish nymphs with any weight in them.

Like everywhere, things are low (Taos Creek is bone dry), which means dry flies on the small side, less good fishing during the heat of day, but perhaps good fishing during an afternoon rain.  I like the attractor dries, though with water this low and fish so visible, it might be a good time to work on your sight nymphing.  This is a very important skill to add to your quiver.  Try ants all over.
Costilla in Valle Vidal is still fishing well.  High water mid week, low on the weekends generally.  Hoppers and small dries and tiny nymphs such as pheasant tails, chrono cones, or red annelids.
Los Pinos has been on a roll with light weight nymphs and small dries, you've heard it before.

There's a little more water up north than here, which isn't saying much.  No big story here, attractor dries with a subtle terrestrial option such as ants and small beetles.  Hondo is cold, the Pueblo by Sipapu, and the Santa B should fish well if you put some miles behind you.

All good on all methods.  Try the Pueblo near the golf course and below.  Dry dropper's nice, with cased caddis flies going down.  Trailing ants will also work.  In the smaller creeks like the Chiquito, Olla, and del Rancho, try to fish one fly at a time so you're casts near brush won't snag as much.
Did you see all those motorcycles last weekend?
