The San Juan River 3 years later

Recommended Posts

I am so happy to have been able to take a trip back to the San Juan River. The San Juan is where I got my start videoing my fishing adventures. My very first episode was at the San Juan, and even though I didn't catch anything on my first episode, for some reason it still to this day has the most views of any of my fishing episodes. Since that video, I have fished the San Juan river more than a dozen times on video, and always enjoyed my trips there.

So how does this river stack up after a few years of not fishing it? Well, I will say the weather didn't support a great trip. I only caught 3 fish, and none were great size. However this trip is not done. After fishing the San Juan River, I drove out to Utah to fish 6 lakes fishing resort and caught some amazing fish! I will have two videos of that trip come out in the next few weeks. These fish at 6 lakes fight like tuna! They are fun to catch and readily eat the dry fly, streamer, and nymph. Then on the way back from 6 lakes I was able to fish the San Juan once again and caught quite a few fish, including one of the largest Ive ever caught on the Juan. This whole trip really was amazing. I caught some really nice trout, and even a bass. I was able to spend some time with my Cousin who I am very close with. Unfortunately it had been over 2 years since I had seen him, so that was great to be able to catch up with him and his beautiful family. I also was able to see a great friend and long time subscriber on my trip to 6 lakes. Bob is one great fisherman. He is 70 years old and has been fishing for most his life. He is a great resource to learn fishing tips from, and even a better friend. A very generous and kind hearted man. I hope to be able to fish with him again soon.

Im not sure why the link didn't show up guys.  Lets try it again. 

 

Love the Juan. Don't feel bad about the net. Last time I went my buddy forgot his vest. Will I ever let him live that down? I doubt it

LOL!  I forget something every trip.  When getting ready I’m always distracted by my two kids, and the fact that I film, the amount of stuff I’ve gotta remember to bring is crazy!  Haha!   
 

yeah the Juan is a good place.  Not somewhere I wanna go every trip, but a fun place to catch fish once in a while.
