The San Juan River in northern New Mexico, located below Navajo Dam is a fantastic year-round fishery. River flows are at 3000 cfs and the fishing is steady. One of the best times of the year to fish the Juan is in the winter and spring, especially with the increase in flows. Do not let the higher flows turn you off from the Juan because float fishing is one of the best ways to see and learn this tricky river. Looking for good fishing, little to no crowds and plenty of trophy trout on the fly? Well, you're in the right place. Book a fly fishing trip with Animas Valley Anglers today 970.259.0484

Winter, spring and summer I'm guding throughout southwest Colorado and on the Juan in northern New Mexico. Base out of Durango, so D town is home. but I do spend a lot of time in Creede and Pagosa Springs. Fall finds me swinging bugs in hopes of a tug for the world largest steelies: Babine, Kispiox, Smithers, Hazelton and the remote wilds of BC.
