A look a New Mexico's and Colorado's most famous trout streams. Navajo Dam... Built in 1958 for irrigation and flood control, it created a tailwater fishery of extraordinary quality, the San Juan River, which flows at a consistent temperature year round. Wading or floating... Anglers consistently take 18 inch plus fish, sometimes as many as 30 or 40 per day. Size 20-22 flies and 7x leaders are the order of the day. The Delores River... Hopper patterns and other large attractors are often what entices these hard fighting rainbows, but when that fails, a good upstream nymph presentation is the next best thing.
