San Juan River, NM - a premier fly fishing destination. Guided flyfishing trips.
About the San Juan
The San Juan river is located in northwestern New Mexico. The San Juan, below Navajo Lake dam, is a tailwater fishery with mostly rainbows averaging 14" – 20". Cutthroats, browns and cuttbows (rainbow/cutthroat hybrids) and fish to 28” are possible. Flies we use are generally small, 18-28 but at times larger San Juan Worm style flies are the pattern of choice. Most action is under the surface on nymph patterns. Occasionally we can find a few trout that are keying on dry flies. If you're real lucky and we hit the river on a day when the ants are active - Unbelievable!

Using 3-5 pound tippets the San Juan's strong fish will test even the most skilled angler. The river can be fished year around with water temperatures ranging from the mid to low 40's. Early spring, summer and fall are generally the best times. Late spring sees increased flows from the lake, up to 5,000 cfs. That makes wading difficult. We can arrange for float trips during ‘high water’ times
