San Juan River - Freshwater Fishing
Report

The river flow is around 520cfs.
The clarity is 3-4 feet. The upper
area has been hot early am depending
on how strong the midge hatch is.
There has been a black midge first
then a gray midge #22-24 hatch with
a few beatis #20 in early pm. Gray

#16-24, or black or gray midge #26.
The main channel, T-hole, and below
is still fishing good with beatis
patterns and also the above midge
patterns. the beatis patterns that
are fishing good for me is Pheasant
tail, flash back pheasant tails,gray
or brown rs 2, wd-40, fluff beatis
and gray or chocolate foam wings
#20-22. Dry fly action has been good
depending on weather conditions.
Parachute Adams, Gray parachute

comparadun #20-22.
Tight Lines to all,
Capt. Mark Nesbit
San Juan River Fishing Forecast:

The water will continue to clear,
this should just improve the dry fly
action. I will be using 6x tippet
soon for nymphing.
