About Your Trip

Gear up for an unforgettable fly fishing adventure with Captain Dallas on the legendary waters of the San Juan River! Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, Captain Dallas is committed to finding your success on the water, making sure every trip is not just memorable—but one you'll be talking about for years to come. With years of experience on these scenic and productive rivers, Captain Dallas will ensure that every cast brings you closer to the fish of your dreams.

Captain Dallas runs intimate trips designed for 1-2 anglers on his boat, but if you're planning to bring a larger group, no worries—he can arrange for a second or third trusted guide to join in, ensuring everyone has a spot on the water and a shot at the perfect catch.

The most popular trips he offers are full-day and half-day guided fly fishing trips on some of the most picturesque and action-packed rivers in the Southwest. Full-day trips typically run 7-8 hours, and include one of Captain Dallas' famous riverside lunches—an experience in itself! For half-day trips, you’ll spend about 3.5-4 hours on the water, getting in plenty of quality fishing time. All gear, tackle, and flies are included, so all you need to bring is your fishing license and snacks

The San Juan River is truly one of a kind. This world-renowned trout fishery flows from below Navajo Reservoir and attracts fly anglers from across the globe thanks to its incredible year-round fishing and floatability. Whether you're wading through its calm, fish-filled waters or floating along in search of trout, you'll find that every season on the San Juan offers its own unique opportunities and challenges.

Every trip with Captain Dallas is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Along with catching fish, you'll walk away with new skills, local knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for the river. Whether it’s your first or fiftieth time on the San Juan, Captain Dallas’ expertise will make sure it’s a trip you won’t soon forget.

So, grab your fishing license, pack some snacks, and prepare for an incredible day on the water. With Captain Dallas, you’re not just booking a fishing trip—you’re setting yourself up for an unforgettable experience!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
