Report Dated 7-5-09

 Fishing on the San Juan River has really slowed down.  The fish seem a little on the spooky side.  All the usual flies are working, stay with 6X.  If you move around a lot, terrestrials are good on the surface.  Caddis some evenings from Simon and down stream-

 

The flies on the hot fly list are the ticket.
