Great day on the water Shawn. I’m really happy you got back to fish the San Juan. You can tell it’s a special spot for you.

Hey thanks, yeah it was nice to get back for this trip. And yeah it seems like that’s about when the wind blows. Lol! On this trip it was around 11-11:30 only an hour into the hatch. And boy did it blow! (pun intended)

One downside to “knife edge” wading is that you can often power thru first thing in the morning, then when you try to go back at night after you’re worn out from a day of wading, you’re suddenly in a really bad spot!!!

It’s the San Juan, the fish aren’t afraid of people, they will sit at your feet and feed on the stuff you kick up. It’s nuts. So many fish! And yes lots of pressure, but fishing small flies usually gets them to bite since they aren’t really afraid of people, but have learned (after being caught 100’s of times) what flies to bite. They are very picky with size. If I would have stepped down to like a 28 or 30 i would have gotten more bites that day.

What’s the point in fishing when there are 5 boats and 3 guys wading near you? I’ve never fished the San Juan so Maybe I’m just ignorant but when I go fishing I steer clear from as many people as possible.

I agree I like fishing alone, but it’s mostly always that way there and I do catch fish. It’s a decent fishery, with almost a guaranteed catch for me and most people who go there. Personally I’d prefer getting just one or two in a lonely mountain stream away from crowds. But once in a while it’s fun to go and catch non stop. Haha

So a total of three fish, in one week. Ive even hit recommended places that are proven to have fish, like spots where it's rapid but plenty of rocks for fish, spots that had wood off onto the side of the river. Did everything I could do, got a nibble the whole week. Idk, they made it sound like this area of the river was super active and awesome for fishing, a local said he can catch 15 going about two football fields down the river with a fly rod there and back

@@McFlyAngler oh no, it's fine, I appreciate the thought though. But yea, it wasn't the best, plus the trip was for three, I was just a tag along who mainly did a bunch of work and different stuff for three people. So, wasn't really vacation for me, also considering the fact that my bum knee is worse now, and I've got gashes on my ankles from the massive boulders underneath the water. But no fish for me, as a fisher to another, it's pretty deterring to watch everyone around you snatching up fish but you being the only one who gets none.
