SAN JUAN RIVER ” THE QUALITY WATERS”

The San Juan River lies in Northern New Mexico and is one of the most renowned tail-waters in the country. This outstanding fishery was created by the construction of Navajo Damn in 1962. The damn is 400 feet high and 3/4 of a mile long, the water released at the base of the damn is consistently around 41 – 42 degrees. Perfect trout habitat! The management of the New Mexico Fish and Game and the New Mexico State Park system has created and maintained this outstanding fishery. The first 3.75 miles of river below the damn has been given the designation of “QUALITY WATER”. The Quality Waters offer some of the most consistent fishing conditions, with fish averaging between 16 – 18 inches! Fish this size would be considered a trophy on any other river. Recent studies have shown that the river is supporting 15,000 fish a mile, through the Quality Waters.
