Back from the San Juan River in New Mexico
Flat Rock native replied to Patriot's topic in Fishing Reports
Very awesome web page, anyone with interest in this incredible piece of river should check it out. Black/blues were productive for us too. The fish have serious shoulders and that little 16 1/4 Bow went almost 3.5 lbs, buddies 25 incher, almost 7 lbs. -
Back from the San Juan River in New Mexico
Flat Rock native replied to Patriot's topic in Fishing Reports
I hope you get back there soon and often. Enjoyed your reports while lurking on the forum (medical time off) and responded to Silver Creekβs query on tippet size. Sounds like the 6x spools were baking in sunlight somewhere before you ended up with it. 6x is go to tippet and we hooked 25 and got 15 to the net without any breakages. Smallest was 16 1/4 and my friend netted a 25β Rainbow stuck on #20 midge. So big fish on 6x is workable. Please keep posting your trip details, and fish and fly photos even better. We fished with βBorn and Raisedβ on the San Juan, maybe out of Abeβs at the time. Excellent guides! πππ£π£ππ -
You got it, once you have the βfeelβ right on the first three wraps it is really fun to kick these out. The more you do the easier it will be to set slip a bit more towards the hook eye, resulting in a bit smaller head. I struggle with the other end of the wings, tending to overshoot the hook bend, you nailed that.πππ£π£ππ
