About Your Trip

Spend a full day on the legendary San Juan River with Captain JJ, exploring one of the country's most respected tailwater trout fisheries. Trips are available with start times of 8:00 AM, 8:30 AM, or 9:00 AM, giving you the flexibility to choose the departure that best fits your schedule.

You'll fish from Captain JJ's 16' drift boat, a stable and comfortable platform designed specifically for floating rivers and accessing productive trout water throughout the day.

The San Juan is well known for its healthy populations of Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout, and depending on conditions, you'll have the chance to target both throughout the day. Using a variety of fly fishing techniques, Captain JJ will tailor the approach to the river conditions and your experience level, helping you make the most of your time on the water.

This trip is suitable for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're picking up a fly rod for the first time or you're an experienced fly angler looking to refine your skills, Captain JJ will tailor the day to your experience and provide as much instruction as you'd like along the way.

All rods, reels, fly fishing gear, and tackle are included, along with lunch, light snacks, and bottled water. We recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and any other personal items you'd like to have with you for a comfortable day on the river. Beer is welcome aboard as long as it's in cans—no glass containers, please.

From productive trout water to beautiful scenery and personalized instruction, this float trip is a great way to experience one of the Southwest's premier fly fishing destinations alongside Captain JJ.
