Fishing Conditions

The upper Juan is one of the few other winter fisheries in our area.  With warmer water coming in from the hot springs, a few fish can be caught midday if you decide you don’t want to ski.

Think nymph rigs and look for the deepest sections.  Yes, fish a Euro nymph set up.

Watch for midge hatches
