November 2019 San Juan

Well, the next trip is to the San Juan in New Mexico. We arrive November 14 and depart on November 19. It will be quite the crew for this one. Bill Bendt and Mike Caporaso from Tucson, Rick Allen, Bill Elk from Boston, and myself. We’ve rented the Octogon Inn for 5 nights.

So, we’ll fish for 4 solid days. The fishing reports call for a drop in flow, which will make wading a bit simpler, but offers less holding water for the fish. If the weather stays good, the adult midge and Baetis fishing should be exceptional. There’s always the weighted nymph/indicator fishing too.

Update: The flow is expected to ramp back up to 500 cfs on November 14, so I expect the fishing to be a bit off for the first day or so we are there. But, it should gradually get better as the fish find lies that have not been available to them for the past week or so.

Anyway, betweent the 5 of us, we should have a fairly complete trout rod arsenal that, and many of those rods were built by Coast to Coast Fly Rods (me). This would be a great opportunity to cast a variety of rods. Come join us and let me help you select a blank to build your perfect fly rod.
