San Juan River - Freshwater Fishing Report
San Juan River is Flowing at 750 cfs, the water is clear and relatively clear of moss.
The weather has gotten hot for this time of year, and we remain dry with fire restrictions for the
entire state.
CATCH & RELEASE
This area of the river is fishing best in the mornings with:
• UFO’s (tan or brown size 24's)
• Red Spots ( a smaller version of the Red Hot)
• Gray RS-2's and Johnny Flashes
• Black Midge emergers
UPPER FLATS TO TEXAS HOLE
Good most of the day, some dry fly fishing
• Sam flies as above for the AM
• San Juan worms (AM)
• Chocolate beatis patterns like RS-2, Johnny Flashes
• Flashback Pheasant tails
TEXAS HOLE TO LOWER FLATS
• San Juan worms ( brown or orange)
• Gray or chocolate RS-2
• Midge emergers Black or olive
• Red larva and UFO’s
LOWER FLATS TO BAIT WATER
• San Juan worms (brown is best)
• Caddis larva patterns I use a double beadhead with pheasant body
• Flashback Pheasant tails
• Chocolate beatis patterns
The river has been very good lately, the pressure lately has been surprisingly light!
It surprises me because most of the West is in drought conditions and we are one of the only river with a decent flow.
The caddis hatch is just beginning to come off, should be perfect around the beginning of July.
Tight lines
Mark
