Late last June, when the snowpack was about 140% of normal, we found high water and snow drifts at the higher elevations (over 10K feet) in the Wind River Mts. of Wy. Not unfishable, just high.
There is some nice water near Durango, CO, and I'm certain the Duranglers fly shop could give you some info.
There are some big fish in the San Juan River (average size is 16in.), in northern New Mexico, but you definitely won't be alone if you fish up high near the dam. Many fishermen do tend to clear out by 2 p.m., though, and there is plenty of water down lower where you won't find so many fishermen, although you'll find fewer fish there. But then, 5-10 15" - 18" fish in a morning ain't bad and you can go to the upper reaches in the p.m.
The entire blue ribbon fishery is only 4 miles long, and VERY wader friendly. Don't forget your hoppers.
