The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

The one and only time I fished the San Juan, I hit the "kiddie pool" on the last day of my trip. I was stunned at the number of fish I could see swimming around, but more stunned at the number of people. It reminded me of the Trinity below Junction City in November! I counted about 25 people fishing a small stretch of the river less than 100 yards long. Fishing was tough there. I hit the braids just below and found fewer people and lot's of trout, and a few that were willing to take size 26's and fewer still I could land 26's. But still a cool fishery. Very unique. And beautiful in fall colors!
