San Juan River

The rivers in Colorado are rising and blowing out, and the upper SJ is no exception. Big stonefly nymphs and streamers will be your friend

Patterns/Bugs:
Pats Rubberlegs in 4-8.
Black Buggers 2-6.
Dont overthink it here this time of year.

The Juan is steady in the spring, and bugs are hatching. Fishing has been good with dries, nymphs, and streamers, depending on the time of day you get out.
Out at dawn? Fish a streamer.
Once the sun comes up, fish a nymph righ with a BWO nymph and midge pupa until fish start rising. Then throw a small drie if you so choose and have fun!
