THE
SAN JUAN RIVER IS BACK!!!
Click the above link for up to the minute San Juan
river flow info. Our season has finally begun. You can
obtain more details by calling us.
Water clarity is crystal clear. 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.
