Float Trips
Experience the iconic San Juan River and the finest fly fishing New Mexico has to offer on a 4-8 hour float with About Trout. Our Fly Fishing Float Trips down the Juan are great for anglers of all experience levels, families, corporate groups, and die-hard fly fishers alike. The San Juan River is a year-round fishery with ample opportunities for a trophy fish you'll never forget.
What's Included
From the time we meet at the put-in until the time we shake hands goodbye at the take-out, we have everything fishing taken care of! Our guides are expert San Juan River fly anglers, patient teachers, and incredibly accommodating hosts. All fly rods, reels, lines, tippets, and flies are taken care of. If you break off, grab another rod while we re-rig. The cooler is loaded with ice and waters with plenty of room for your lunch, snacks, and beverages of choice.
Target Species
Rainbow Trout
In the upper reaches, a mix of juvenile trout up to seven inches are stocked, while the middle river receives catchable-sized rainbow trout, exclusively triploid females. This means that any male rainbow trout caught was naturally born in the river, as they don't typically reproduce successfully here.
Brown Trout
The San Juan River is a trophy fishery with absolutely massive brown trout. The population is 100% wild and self-sustaining, growing significantly over the last decade. They feed on juvenile rainbow trout stocked by the state, producing some freakishly large browns.
Year Round Fishing
When folks ask us, "When is the best time to fish the San Juan River?" We simply reply, yes. The Juan is a year-round fishery, with trophy opportunities lingering around almost every bend regardless of the season. Whether you're a streamer junkie or a Euro nympher, we've got a trip for you. Spring is incredible dry fly fishing, Summer is our favorite time to streamer fish, the Cottonwoods change colors in Fall, and Winter has consistent trophies.
Gear We Use
We pride ourselves on using the highest quality tackle and gear. From our fly lines to the drift boats, all of our equipment is meticulously maintained. We know anglers may want to bring their own gear, but if you want to travel a little lighter, you'll be fishing for San Juan River trout on professional equipment all day.
What To Bring
We have all of your tackle and fishing equipment covered, but all anglers are welcome to bring their own gear. Come prepared for the weather, as it can change season by season and throughout the day. Your guide will be in touch with you leading up to your trip to confirm you're fully prepared for your fly fishing float trip. We have a thorough fly fishing packing list with more information, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. All guests 12 years and older require a New Mexico fishing license.
