San Juan River in January - Large Rainbows and Nymphing Streamers - McFly Angler Episode 40
The San Juan River is fishable year round. I have caught many fish while its snowing out. The river is a tail water, so it does not freeze up, and the temperatures stay relatively the same all year round. The winter is one of my favorite seasons to fish at the Juan because the river isnt as pressured, and the larger fish come out. The lake also turns over usually in late December and the river becomes slightly off color. For that reason, you can fish larger nymphs and even do really well on streamers. No more fishing the really tiny midge patterns you are used to fishing in the spring and summer. I find that you can get away with size 20-22 midge patterns, 18-20 red annelid patterns and some smaller bunny leeches and other streamers as well. In fact, I really like to fish a streamer under an indicator and drop a red annelid behind it. Also, you want to fish a bit more flashy this time of year.
Here is the phone number for FloatNFish if you want to setup a float trip with Kelly. (505) 632-5385
Also, I talked about the New Zealand Indicator system in the video, so here is a link to where you can buy it online if your local fly shop doesn't carry it. http://amzn.to/2DOOEIL
