I grew up fishing the San Juan River. Have fished many other trout streams all over the county, it's just hard to compare. I recommend getting a map and going upstream from the Texas Hole or walking 1/2 mile downstream. It's likely that if you going during the week you will see very few fisherman. Weekends are a bit crowded, but the fishing is great anywhere you go. I have a friend who guides on the river, he just went out with my dad two weeks ago and they caught 40 fish each in 1 day. That's an average day!
