500 cfs THE
SAN JUAN RIVER IS BACK!!! The
Bureau of Reclamation has just revised the release
schedule from Navajo Lake into the San Juan River.
This schedule shows that the San Juan will be flowing
@ 500 CFS by 6/25/08 instead of 7/2/08. Our
season has finally begun. You can obtain details
at our site and by calling us. Water
clarity has increased to almost 4' and is and
improving daily...we are actually seeing the trout,
which are strong, fat, and hungry. With the lack
of fishing pressure for the last 6 months, we are
looking forward to a fabulous start. Releases are made for the authorized purposes of the Navajo Unit, and to attempt to meet flow recommendations for the endangered fish in the San Juan River. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Page at (970) 385-6560 or e-mail him at ppage@uc.usbr.gov. The San Juan river fishes well at all levels. At 4000 cfs the river is still wadable in some areas. You have to be careful and you aren't going to fish the back side of the river. The higher flow will concentrate the fish, not spread them out. We catch a lot of fish at the higher flows. With a guide is the best way to fish the high water, but you can rent a drift boat also. Tight Lines
New Mexico fishing license 1 day $17.00 New Mexico Resident $30.00 These prices include the new stamp and not the Habitat Improvement stamp.
We have added some pages with some spectacular photographs of the San Juan River and other attractions in San Juan County. Check them out.

The usual Midge larva patterns and midge emergers in the upper mile of river. Some trout are taking eggs or San Juan Worms. Lots of floating moss, KEEP YOUR FLIES CLEAN! Maybe try Scuds also because of the moss. From Texas hole down stream Flashback pheasant tails, Johnny Flashes and RS-2s gray or brown. In faster water the brown or orange San Juan Worms . Simon Canyon to the end of Quality waters, use San Juan Worms,, Scuds, Flashback Pheasant tails, midge emergers and Chocolate RS-2.
