San Juan River

[timsfly]

Thats a shame....no reason to go back now !

Well the food isn't the reason to go there anyway, last time I went to the juan

I only went out and

ate once, the rest of the time it was peanut butter and well mostly peanut butter sandwiches

I've been out there over 30 times in about 25 years, and the fishing is still pretty good.

I think the fish might have been bigger in the late 80's and the 90's but I might just be

remembering big. I fished right up untill dark several nights and finished up at the top of the

Texas hole throwing #2 woolybuggers and possum bugs I like I throw on Crane and Roaring river,

and I did catch some fish, never got a hog doing that, but I have heard that they get some big

trout night fishing.

I think anytime is a good time to go fish the san juan, and there is easy fishing or very technical

fishing what ever you desire. Just enjoy the trip

I just fished it for a couple of days during the first week of December. We did real well on small egg patterns tied with Golden color Mcfly foam,basic midge,midge larva, and Chocolate KF Emerger patterns in sizes 20-22. I didn't have to get into the size 24's this trip. We had no problem landing 30+ fish a day. We found no need to go smaller than 4X flouro, with a good presentation. The braids were not holding as many fish as I have seen there on previous winter trips. The Kiddie,and Texas Hole seemed to attract a lot of people but we mostly fished up from the Cable Hole and below Andys Island. Go to the links from Abes Flyshop and Motel and you'll find pretty good info.
