thanks Al. Know anything about the Sanjuan River?

HEY MAXPOWER I HAVE FISHED THERE MANY TIMES THOUGH I HAVE ONLY SPINCAST THE RIVER AND IT HAS BEEN HIT AND MISS. I HAVE GONE AND CAUGHT MANY FISH UP AND DOWN THE RIVER MIN AT 14 INCH AND UP TO 20 BUT HAVE WALKED THE RIVER FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND NOT EVEN GOT A BITE. GOOD FISHING FOR SALMON IN LATE SUMMER AND EARLY FALL BEFORE TOO MUCH RAIN. I EVEN HAVE CAUGHT A 32 INCH STEELHEAD. IF YOU GET THE CHANCE GO UP THE LENS CREEK AND WATCH THE BANK FOR SOME POOLS IN THE LENS CREEK THERE ARE SOME BIG BOWS IN THERE WELL OVER 17 INCH. THE TRICK IS GETTING THEM TO BITE. OH BY THE WAY THE SAN JUAN HAS A LOT OF TRIBUTARIES SO IT HAS A LARGE INFLOW SO WATER DOESN'T DROP TO FISHABLE LEVELS UNTILL AFTER A BIT OF SUN. I HAVE GONE IN JUNE AND IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY AND VERY FULL. SO GOOD LUCK.
