San Juan River - April 6th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
56 °
FISHING: Good
The standard patterns should serve you just fine; success really depends on how well you deal with the wind, which can whitecap some of the calmer stretches pretty bad throughout the day. Keep your casts short and Belgian (rod low into your backcast, coming up over the top on delivery, essentially an oval shaped casting stroke). Hopefully, you can position yourself so that mending is unneccesary. If you must mend, consider the direction and power of the wind and adjust accordingly. A little extra weight might also be needed to anchor your indicator if the wind's blowing downstream. Upstream blowing is more common, however, so you'll need to stay ahead of your rig with your rod tip. Keep that tip low and lead the rig. Hopefully the wind won't blow you too far off track. Red larvae, thread midges in tan, chartreause, and olive should get their turn on your tippet. Chocolate RS2s are turning on noticeably after 1:00 pm.

San Juan River - March 24th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
41 °
FISHING: Good
Expect lots of wind, cold at times. You might have to add weight to your nymph rigs to keep them tracking well. Switching to smaller, less wind resistant indicators will help too. Or just swing a leech. Other than that, are your flies small enough? Should you step down in tippet?

San Juan River - March 15th, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED: 
48 °
FISHING: Good
We're getting lots of mixed reports. Annelid fishing up by the dam is its usual consistent self, while anglers and their pet patterns - usually RS2s, tiny PTs, cream midge larvae, orange and red worms, and swung and jigged leaches - are doing just fine. Other anglers are getting wiped out. If this is you, taking chances can pull you out of a slump. Don't be dogmatic because trout will not always behave like you want them to. How's your weight? Too much? Too little? Too close to or far from your flies or indicator? Are you screening for bugs? The best thing to do is simply to find someone who's catching a lot; if you don't want to intrude, just watch and see if there's something he or she is doing that you aren't.

San Juan River - March 3rd, 2009
supplied by: The Reel Life
RECORDED:
50 °
FISHING: Fair
Good and bad. I've heard the windy day on Saturday was better than the calm Sunday, that foam wing emergers were working and Dorsey's RS2s. Otherwise, put a leach on a steelhead swing and bliss out; you'll get your hits if you lose your cares. I know, pretty granola, but there have been some hard days on the Juan of late, where bent rods are few and far between. Keep trying.

San Juan River - January 24th, 2007
supplied by: The Reel Life
FISHING: Fair
After three days this week at 200cfs (so more habitat work could be done downstream) river level is back near 475cfs. Give the fish another day to reacclimate, then take advantage of the weekend's nice weather forecast. The usual subsurface flies are the ticket.

San Juan River - January 14th, 2007
supplied by: Sandstone Anglers
FISHING: Fair
The San Juan is at 500 cfs and is a little murky
FLOWS--500 CFS
CONDITIONS-- A little murky from the lake turning over but still over 3 feet visibility.
HATCHES - Midges and some Baetis
FLIES -
All midge pupa gray, black, dark gray size 22-26
All baetis nymphs choco and dark gray size 22

San Juan worms and Chammy leeches size 16-18

Parachute Adams size 22-26
Any midge cluster up to size 12
FISHING CONDITIONS - Flow is good and the water is a little murky, fishing has been fair to good up and down the river. Fish are pretty active in the spawning area, so San Juan worms and Glo-bugs are productive, trail a midge larva behind it for best success. Streamers can be productive during this time also.
14-DAY FORECAST - Winter is here and the weather has been pretty cold with a little snow, although very little. The winter is the best time to escape the crowds and fish a excellent tail-water. Come see why the San Juan is the hottest fishing in the Southwest!

San Juan River - November 23rd, 2005
supplied by: The Reel Life
FISHING: Good
No real changes. Clear water (to three feet) and very tiny midges, some Baetis on overcast days. If you don't want to fish small stuff, try stripping some little leeches on a sinking leader. The online gauge is busted, but flow seems about the same as last week.

Okay reports, but nothing fabulous. All the usual culprits are working including eggs, leeches and San Juan Worms. November will bring those eeny-weeny fall Baetis.
