The San Juan River Quality Waters located below Navajo Dam, are considered to be among the top three world-class streams in the West. The constant year round temperature (40 degrees) of the river has created a four season fishery unequalled in the U.S., producing fantastic fly fishing for trophy rainbow trout averaging 17 inches and two to four pounds. Rainbows over 20 inches are frequently caught on both nymphs & dry flies!

The river offers outstanding dry fly and nymph fishing. It is an excellent fishery for both beginning and advanced flyfishers. Fed by a constant stream of insects, a trout on the San Juan can grow 15 inches in a year. Often you can stand in one spot and see anywhere from 50 to 100 trout all around you in the clear waters. This is truly an amazing river; one that will keep you coming back time after time.

Near the dam, Midges are the main source of food for the trout, with some Mayflys present. As we move downstream and the water begins to warm Mayflys increase dramatically and Caddis begin to appear in large numbers. Mayfly hatches in the Winter are awesome, crowds are small, and the trout are hungry and feisty.

Downstream from the Quality Waters we have access to the private waters by use of drift boat, providing the opportunity to catch both large Rainbows and Brown trout on 8.5 or 13.5 miles of private water. Here trout to 25 inches are often caught.  We also guide on many rivers and small mountain creeks in the Pagosa Springs area or on the Animas river in Durango.

One of the newest lodges on the world famous San Juan River, our Lodge is quickly gaining a reputation as the place to stay when visiting "the Juan". Each of the lodge’s large clean spacious suites will accommodate up to four persons, with large bathrooms and two separate sleeping areas in each suite with two twin beds in each area. Your large living room has two recliners, a couch, satellite TV, small refrigerator, telephone and fly tying tables. The entrance to each suite has rod and wader racks. All suites are heated and air conditioned for your comfort.

Meals:  We understand that the fishing is just part of the overall experience! Our new Executive Chef Brad Neuendorf is here to please! Here are a few of the menu's you might enjoy this summer!

Just because you are on a fishing trip does not mean you have to rough it or do without the comforts of home. Come back at the end of a great day of fishing, kick back in your recliner and relive the fishing stories of the day with friends and family. As many visiting anglers have commented, "this is a fishing place where you can bring your wife and family, without worries."
