San Juan River - February 2nd, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
41 °
FISHING: Excellent
We've had several recent reports of fishing being markedly better on smaller sized hooks, 30s and 8X. Not for me, wearing fish out or breaking them off, but I'm sure the real experts are having a ball and taking care of their fish to boot. Black beauties are still a consistent producer, annelids, tiny PTs in the pm, an worms and eggs.

San Juan River - January 28th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
34 °
FISHING: Excellent
If you dare, I'm sure you can find rafts of midge adults and pick off gulpers with midge clusters, chickens, and triple threats. Otherwise, black beauties and annelids are getting the bottom feeders. Having an egg on all the time doesn't hurt either. Try a leach or matuka with a bullet sinker on it. Jig it along.

San Juan River - January 12th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
39 °
FISHING: Excellent
Hear that busy signal? It's because the San Juan is off the hook (har, har). Seriously, have red hot will travel, and I like foam winged emergers as well. And here's something: if a fish comes up to look at your indicator (they will if it's black) then that fish is a player that will probably roll on a big attractor dry. Who knows what tactics will work? I've been pinching a 3/0 split shot on the head of a black leach, throwing it out, and REELING it in with some sweet results. Jesse has been killing them on a triple threat, a size 14 midgey looking dry that honestly looks like a purple ant. Throw the rule book out the window (but always have your annelids handy).

San Juan River - December 16th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
35 °
FISHING: Excellent
Small (size 24-26) gray emergers and RS2s result in marked increase in hookups and straightened hooks from T-hole on up. Midge dries in the afternoon are fun. Black leeches when the shadows fall.

San Juan River - December 2nd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
46 °
FISHING: Excellent
The fall baetis hatch is finally petering out, but it's predictable enough to make a wonderful afternoon if you're anywhere from the cable down to the sewing machine. Killer mays in black and dark olive, tiny PTs, comparaduns, and gray RS2s. Otherwise, throw the red larva in the mix and a black midge emerger, a simple black beauty or my new favorite, a tiny bowtie buzzer tied by my buddy John Chumbly.

San Juan River - November 20th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
60 °
FISHING: Great
Red hots, foam wings, bow tie buzzers (let me know if you find any commercially available; I have a source that I'll give up for gas money), comparaduns, cluster midges, small zebras, and annelids. You know the drill, short casts, everything tight between your bobber and weight/hooks. Crowds are down of course.

San Juan River - November 3rd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
60 °
FISHING: Excellent
Chocolate RS2s and johnny flashes, red annelids and hots. Some wonderful dryfly fishing if the wind stays down. The grasshopper prey image is not yet dead in the trouts' brains; this I found out while fishing a zebra midge at the sewing machine riffle. Steelhead swinging a black leech and stripping it home is a fun way to get smacked too. Careful, the browns are spawning.

San Juan River - October 21st, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
42 °
FISHING: Excellent
Foam winged emergers in gray and chocolate are drawing big numbers up and down, though most reports are coming from the cable. Crowds are pretty busy, but the yellow cottonwoods are worth the price of admission. Small red larvae are doing just fine as well. Lots of smallish fish, but they've got spunk.

San Juan River - October 8th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
68 °
FISHING: Excellent
Foam wing RS2s, tiny PTs, annelids, tan midge larvae, and brown worms. A small grey bunny leech is deadly on a sink tip in the deep green pools. Enjoy those colors.

San Juan River - September 28th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
77 °
FISHING: Excellent
Good flows and somewhat reduced crowds make for some exciting fishing on the Juan. Discos and red hots in 22 and smaller will see you through. Red larvae too, though be advised that the midday hours will slow down quite a bit on annelids. Try some ugly streamers on sink tips to pull some truly epic browns, and mice patterns in the last minutes of light. Don't forget to get your barbs down, as Fish Five-O is on the job. This is a great time to be on the river.
