Anyone else tried the San Juan in northern New Mexico.I have lived here for 30 yrs and just went and tried it.WOW rainbows up to 33".I fish Navajo Lake ,which is fed by the San Juan,all the time for catfish,bass and pike and also an occasional brown or kokahnee salmon but today a friend talked me into tryig a fly rod for the big rainbows in the Quality Waters below the dam.I think I'll do this as often as my blood pressure will stand it[:p]

    Was down your way a few weeks ago. My son's BMW broke down in Cuba. Didn't realize the San Juan ran through your A.O....Looks like a great river to fish..I can't wait to hit Lake Powell again this spring..Haven't even wet a hook this winter..

    MOMMASBOY Aztec is still the same old place.I live down on the Animas just west of Light Plant rd and there are a few browns to be caught when the ice is off.Moved here in 79 and this is the hardest winter I can remember,but spring is on the way so the fishing should pick up
