Fishing Highlights:
It was a real pleasure to have two expereinced anglers on the river. The fall fly fishing was just fantastic. The fish are really eating smaller mayflies and midges and the san juan worm has been sticking some of the real pigs!The fishing is great. Clear skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 48-51 degrees and Crystal Clear.
