San Juan Fishing Reports

3/26/2024 The San Juan River flow is around 350 cfs. Water clarity is around 2-2 1/2 ' feet. Some moss and salad in the water column. Fishing in the quality water area has improved considerably in the last week. Some days the beatis, BWO's are coming off better than others but the fish are starting to look up. The midge hatches was good early in the morning and then the mayflies started to hatch. Size #24 black midge pupa's and emergers, working, #20 red larva in the morning. #22 Flash back pheasant tails, root beers and #20-22 gray fluff beatis, #20-24 parachute Adams, and black midge cluster patterns working. Spring is a beautiful time on the San Juan and a great opportunity to shake off those "cabin fever blues" so give us a call and come wet a line with us.
