My son and family live near Madrid NM. We are avid Michigan trout fisherman, 3rd and 4th generation. I would love to wet a line on my next fly in to NM. Would I need a guide or drift boat to fish the San Juan? I have a Hyde and Fish Camp in NW Michigan.
I would be happy to trade a Fall Salmon float for a NM float on the San Juan. When is a good time to fish the tail water? I am retired and live to fish.
I am from NM. and I fish the San Juan.
For your first trip, I would Hire Andy KIM.
http://www.fly-fish.com/He is the absolute best guide there.
I will take my wife, and daughter up there one day, and will hand them over to Andy.
I do not have a vested interest in him other than I met him when he was sleeping in his car, and guaranteeing 12 fish a day, or it was free. He delivered in spades.
You can easily get skunked up there, but with Andy you will catch 20-30 fish a day.
