The ‘Juan’ as my fishing buddies call it ‘is the place to
fly fish in New Mexico’. The San Juan is
unlike any NM river I have fished to this point. My usual fishing ‘rivers’ or ‘streams’ generally
don’t qualify as rivers back in the Midwest.
Most of the rivers or streams in the Jemez Mountains and Pecos
Wilderness can be forded with ease; many times without even getting feet
wet. The San Juan is different. Even though it is somewhat cloudy from runoff,
the two days we were there I could tell from the color of the water; deep
blue/green in places, the river is big and deep.
