Yep. The San Juan River below Navajo Damn has some of the best Rainbow Trout fishing in the USA. And some damn good Brownies, too. This time of the year, most is nymp fishing with size 22 and smaller flys on a 6X leader. Dry Flies can also be great in the late evening. The closer you are to the dam, the better the fishing. Abe's Fly Shop and Motel on the River is about 3 miles from the dam, and there is another great little Fly Shop just across the rode frame Abe's but I can't think of the name of it.

The closest town to the San Juan Dam is Aztec, NM, which is about 15 miles or so from the dam. I think that is about a 2 or 3 hour drive from Santa Fe, if I'm not mistaken, but it's well worth the trip.
It's my favorite place to Fly Fish in all of the USA.
