San Juan River - Braids & Simon Canyon

We were among the first people in the braids and I think that had a big effect on the quality of the fish we caught. A lot of big fish and they were biting on eggs like crazy. They were also biting small midges. I lost count of how many fish we caught, and big ones too! Simon canyon was slow on the surface activity and my favorite kiddie pool eddy wasn't producing much either apart from a 16" rainbow that took me for an amusing ride. Amazing day! Thanks to Travis from Fly Fish The San Juans for showing me the ropes on this crowded but really fun river.
