New Mexico - San Juan River
Flushing flows in late spring subside in June, clearing the way for excellent flyfishing. When the water is high, the river's back channels are loaded with bug-sipping trout. Stay clear of flows between 3,000 and 4,200 cfs. It's game on with levels below that, with Baetis imitations, midge patterns, and caddis all working in the lower river by mid-June. Try your hand at catching some of the Juan's signature fat rainbows on top.
