5/4/2026 The River Flow is around 450 cfs. The water color is a bit ugly gray- brown. Fishing has been a little bit tricky lately due to the water level and weather. Weather is finally starting to improve with less cold, wind, and rain. #22-24 black latex, mono midge, #16-22 red larva working. Some days have been better than other's, but the midges are still the most productive. Some beatis coming off in the early afternoon. Gray and chocolate #20-24 foam wings, gray poly wing Rs2's. Black and chartreuse marabou jigs are working. Keep the jig on the bottom with some slow strips, feed the line out so you can stay on the bottom with a timed pause to drop the jig to the bottom. Trout like to chase things on the swing.

Here's a big Brown Trout caught by Alex, in the upper flats San Juan River guided by Timmy. Beast of a trout caught on a #22 red larva.

4/18/2026 Hello anglers, the river flow is around 300 cfs. Water clarity is a little bit more visible than a couple weeks ago. The river is fishing good right now. Midges are happening in the morning and the Beatis (BWO’s) are coming off in the afternoon. Heads were rising in a few areas this last week. When the weather settles down and the temperatures are more comfortable the water will clear and there will be more activity on the surface, dry fly fishing is going to happen soon.

What has been working for me is #18-20 red larva, #20-22 black and gray Big Macs, #22-24- black mono midge, Mark’ s Mojo Midge #20-22. #20-22 Gray or chocolate foam wings. #20-24 Fluff beatis and root beers, flash back pheasant tails. #20-22 Calf hair Parachute Adams, #20-22 gray sparkle duns. The lake is starting to clear and looks a lot better than it did a few weeks ago. The river should start clearing also as nighttime temperatures warm up. May should be a great month of fishing.

3/22/2026 The river flow is low and slow at 250 cfs. Water color is a gray green. Fishing has been good . #16-22 Red larva and #18-20 black Big Mac working together. Leeches and marabou jigs 1/64-1/32 mainly black and chartreuse jigs and natural or black leeches. Some beatis, #20-24 fluff beatis, root beers and flash back pheasant tails, Rs2. Black mono midge emergers. The weather has been great for this spring. Tight lines to all, Mark Nesbit, Blue Sky Flyfishing

2-7-2026 The river is flowing around 350 cfs. Water clarity is around 1-2' color is grayish/ green color. Fishing has been fair to good. Typical winter fishing conditions. Black, white and natural tan bunny leeches, yellow or rainbow-colored egg patterns. Red larva's and #22-26 black latex Emergers. Black or white and chartreuse 1/16-1/32 oz. maribou jigs working good. Remember when fishing with jigs you need to be on the bottom just slip- sliding the jigs. The quality waters just recently stocked with a bunch of 4-6" rainbow trout. The baby brown trout are just now starting to hatch from the eggs. It's a good time to fish with streamers. 4-6" rainbow or brown trout streamer patterns. Remember to twitch the fly to make it look like a dying fish, and when you get that strike ... strip- set. Tight lines to all,Mark Nesbit, Blue Sky Flyfishing

9/16/2025 The river flow was dropped to 500 cfs today. This is my favorite river flow rate. We are starting to have a BWO's hatching in the afternoon. Gray and chocolate #20-22 foam wings, RS2's and WD-40, fluff beatis and flash back pheasant tails. Steamer's are working on cloudier days. Fishing with streamers is a great fun, but requires that you have a good idea of how to fish the pattern that your using. With most fishing, an erratic presentation to mimic a struggling dying bait fish seems to work best. You just have to experiment with the technique and see how it works for you. Heads are rising to gray #20-22 calf hair parachute Adams and black midge patterns. Here's a photo of my favorite client, Jerry with his personal best Brown Trout caught in the Texas Hole yesterday. Jerry, and his wife Vicki, have been fishing with me for 24 years, yesterday was one for the bucket list. Weather is nice and the fishing is great. Come join us. Mark Nesbit at Blue Sky Fly Fishing.

Hello Everyone, the river is now flowing around 800cfs. I like 👍 this flow level. The river is fishing good! What was working for me is #18-20 gray and black (Big Mac) to a #22-24 black latex emerger. #16-24 Red larva to a #20-24 gray foam wing emergers.
Some dry fly action using #16-18 Madam X, #22-24 gray Parachute 🪂 Adams. Weather is cooling down, slight taste of fall in the air.
Here's a few pictures of Scott, and his beautiful young wife soon to be mother with some really nice fish. Scott with a beautiful Brown trout that he caught in the Texas Hole , and a big Rainbow trout caught in Three Island Run, San Juan River, New Mexico.
Enjoy the land of Enchantment, New Mexico's premier trophy trout fishery with its huge Brown trout 30"+ and 24" plus Rainbow trout. Lots of mosquitoes, I suggest covering up and wear your loose baggy- puffy full coverage clothing. Tight fitting clothing they just bite threw it.
