The San Juan below Navajo Dam is fishing well. Micro midge pupa, larva, eggs and leeches under a bobber are taking fish in the deep runs. Some fish can be found sipping adult midges and micro BWOs on the surface. Fun challenge for sure.
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
