It’s a four hour drive to Cottonwood Campground on the San Juan River. Check-in isn’t until 4 pm so I can relax a little bit this morning.

Here is a photo from today’s drive across northern New Mexico, a beautiful area.

Was setup at around 4 at my site at Cottonwood Campground in Navajo Lake State Park.

site #28
Navajo Dam. You drive across the very top of the dam then down across the face. A little hairy.
Where I’ll be fishing tomorrow. The dam is just to the right.

Here is a YouTube link that shows the possibilities. This guide caught this monster on a $50, Walmart rod and reel combination.

and this is what they eat. This is my San Juan River fly box

My best results were with the smallest flies, the ones at the lower-right
