San Juan River - August 24th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
91 °
FISHING: Great
Midge larvae in the top stretch near the cable, black beauties, zebras in olive, gray, two-tone, and black, and red annelids, all in #22 or smaller. RS2s will work of course, and I like the copper ribbed ones too and the foam wings. Flashback PTs in 22 or 24.
Brown worms should ring too, at least as your attractor. You might trail and RS2 or gray Ray behind one.
For you dry fliers, searching with a power ant, foam ant, or just a hard shell should produce well near the banks. Sight fishing with them should be plenty of fun as well. Cluster midges, patch adams, and comparaduns should be enough for any specific emergences.

San Juan River - August 11th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
92 °
FISHING: Excellent
Gray midge pupa and larva are doing well up towards the dam and elsewhere; olive Zebras, and Juanito Flashes complete a basic theme that will keep you into fish all day (keep them small, #22 on down). Prospecting with flying ant patterns and subtle hopper dressings can be fun too, and you can always drop a midge emerger behind them. Personally, I've become an even bigger fan of the hardshell ant. It sinks ever so slightly and looks basic and real. Do yourself a favor though and put a droplet of zap a gap or some other industrial strength cement on the hackle so the thing doesn't come apart on you after only a few fish.

San Juan River - August 6th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
81 °
FISHING: Excellent
Zebra midges, flashback PTs, Johnny Flashes, foam wing RS2s. Hit the gray, olive, and brown/black tones before giving up. The flows are just below 500, so you may find more concentrated fish, but keep your eyes open for spotters.
Dries include ants - power ants, foamies, and I'd try trailing a slowly sinking hardshell - comparaduns, tiny patch adams, griffiths or midge clusters.
Eggs will remain good attractors for the forseeable millenium. If the crowds are bumming you out, take a slow walk, find some space, and study the water. You're likely to find fish with your name on them.

San Juan River - July 1st, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
88 °
FISHING: Excellent
Water's up to about a thousand, which should push some fish into spots you don't normally get to fish. Great time for exploring. What the heck, try sight fishing bankers with hoppers. You can throw teeny stuff to them all year. Also, there are good numbers of caddis fluttering around the riffles. When that happens, I like swinging renegades.

San Juan River - June 9th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
100 °
FISHING: Excellent
Black zebras are knocking some fish, as are foam wing emergers, RS2s in gray, ultra small annelids, and clear larvae. Apparently, the heat up there is extremely uncomfortable. Might want to go naked in your waders.

San Juan River - May 26th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
79 °
FISHING: Excellent
All around good as you would expect. The flows this year will be stable around 750 cfs, might drop to 500 on occasion. Right now a thread black midge larva is picking off fussy fish. Leeches are working well too on a slow strip.

San Juan River - May 14th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
68 °
FISHING: Excellent
Come one and all. Anglers of all stripes are having a whale of a time on the Juan. Early afternoon hatches of midges and occasional blue wings are getting fish up. Running a dry trailed by a tiny black midge emerger of some sort is a relatively easy way to keep busy. Think dead chicken sometimes too. Good emergers are juju baetis black or purple, RS2, or just a plain old pheasant tail. Small sizes, 22 at least. Zebras are nice too.

San Juan River - April 25th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
69 °
FISHING: Great
Flows are hovering at 450cfs right now and have been stable for a good while. The fishing generally has been pretty darned good throughout. Try a Desert Storm up top with a Sparkle Baetis as a dropper. Also, try Sculpzillas and other streamers in natural/creamy colors.

San Juan River - March 26th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
47 °
FISHING: Great
New Mexico is dying to get some fishing in. I've heard of trails of tears to many streams that are either too cold, high, or muddy for good catches, and anglers aren't caring. They just want to put a line on the water.
Those who actually want to catch fish are heading to the Juan, and so, the river is quite crowded, at least on weekends, at least during spring break. Anyway there's decent dry fly fishing in the slicks if you want to wait for it. Griffith's, Cluster Midges, and the like; Drop a chocolate or gray RS2 or WD40 underneath and see how you do. Or just put on a red larva. Sooner or later, it will shine.

San Juan River - March 18th, 2010
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
56 °
FISHING: Excellent
What can I say, the Juan is producing fine, with fish hitting a range of midge life stages in a variety of colors. A teeny red tungsten zebra midge is rocking in the cable area. Eggs are always good bets, and stripping bunny streamers or clousers is a fun way to break up your indicator hypnosis.
