The San Juan River continues to fish excellent with flows at 500 CFS and we see no reason for that to change between now and June 6. Here is Duranglers guide Corky and angler Brad Orr from last week. Below is an announcement from the Bureau of Reclamation that flows will be increasing in early June. On…
Duranglers co-owner Tom Knopick just got back from his 2nd annual hosted trip to Andros South (April 23-30, 2011). The trip was great and a good time was had by all. Success on the Bonefish flats has lots to do with weather conditions and with sunny skies you just get more shots. On the second…

Duranglers guide Spencer Schreiber hard at work on the San Juan River below Navajo Dam this past Sunday, April 17. A very nice double as the river continues to fish very well! Another day at the offcie.
The Animas is a free flowing River and conditions can vary dramatically in the spring. There will be times it is in great shape and times when it is unfishable. With warmer weather the snow starts to melt then with a cold snap the river will come right back in. As of today the conditions…
It is still very early in the game to know exactly how spring flows will shake out below Navajo Dam but here is what we think we know at this point. It seems very likely that we will have a spring flushing flow of 5000 cfs for one week, with one week to ramp up…
Lately the Animas is looking very good and has yielded some decent Blue Winged Olive hatches and fish looking up. Look for this trend to continue until we get weather that brings us moisture or the runoff begins. At that point it will be Streamer time. With a foot or two of visibility, we should…
The San Juan River below Navajo Dam continues to fish very well. The fishing has been solid all winter and early spring with good flows of 500 CFS.

With the warming days of early spring the surface water temps on Navajo Reservoir have been pushing above 40 degrees. This is good news for fly fishing Pike anglers because the warming water temps will bring Pike into shallow water. Our other Pike fisheries should open up soon. Expect the ice to come off Totton…
Lately the Animas has been fishing decent from about 10 to 3. Midges are coming off and, as the weather continues to moderate, we should see more fish looking up. Look for days with moderating temps and get out there before the low elevation snow dirties up the Animas. If no serious bug activity, nymph…

Historically, February is a great winter month for fishing the Animas and the San Juan. Longer days and slightly warmer temperatures can bring on some good midge hatches. Don’t be afraid to get out on those snowy days, when temps aren’t too bad. These are the days to see fish feeding on the surface. If…
