San Juan River Information

Hello Everyone,

The river flow is at 500 cfs. The water is clear, visibility 6-7 feet. Fishing is great with a good midge hatch early am, followed by the beatis hatch. the caddis hatch is starting in the lower river. This is the best time to float the lower river, bait and private water's for the caddis hatch. Lots of large browns and rainbows wanting a waking Goddard caddis. Hurry it won't last long, it will only be good for a couple of weeks. The ant fall should happen any time soon, next good rain. Blue Sky Is offering a great deal on a lodging / guide trip package deal, e-mail or call for info.

Tight lines,

Mark
