Excellent fishing trip with Duranglers guide service. We had Rob Coddington as guide. We caught rainbow trout all day on the middle San Juan River. My son also caught a large brown trout. We have fished but never fly fished. Rob was very helpful and patient with our learning curve. We were drift fly fishing in an oar boat. Rob knew all the best spots for catching and didn’t mind at all rowing us back upriver to re-pass through good spots. Really, a great experience! Love to do it again!
