Looking at doing some fly/casting (for trout) on the san juan really soon. Any idea on how far up or good information in general?

I LIKE TO GO IN AT HARRIS CREEK VIA THE CREEK BED AND MAKE MY WAY DOWN OR THE ACCESS ROAD JUST PAST THE BRIDGE AND TAKE THE FIRST LEFT AND MAKE WAY UP RIVER FISHING THE HOLES. CAUGHT A NICE SUMMER STEELE 32 INCHES LONG UNEXPECTED AS I WAS HITTING AVEREAG14 INCH BOWS MOST OF THE DAY. AS WELL I DID WELL IN SEPT JUST DOWN RIVER FROM THAT ON SOME CHUM SALMON WITH A GREEN SILVER SPOON. I THINK THE WATER MIGHT BE A BIT HIGH AND FAST BUT I AM NOT A FLY FISHER BUT THE WATER WILL BE FAST AND HARD TO CROSS TO MAKE WAY UP STREAM. THE BUSH IS VERY DENSE TOO. GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT.

A FRIEND CAUGHT A 5 POUNDER AND I CAUGHT A 7 POUNDER ABOUT A MILE DOWN FROM THE OLD CAMP THERE ARE SOME NICE HOLES AND CLIFFS THERE AND RUNNING POOLS THE STEELES HIDE IN BUT FIND THEY SPOOK VERY EASY AND ONCE YOU HAVE ONE ON GOOD LUCK FINDING ANY MORE. IT SEEMS TO BE HIT OR MISS FOR ME BUT I JUST SPINCAST SO IT TAKES SOME FINNESS TO GET THEM TO STRIKE SOME TIMES. THE CLOSER YOU GET TO RENFREW THE STEEPER THE BANKS GET SO IT HARD TO GET DOWN BUT IF YOU KNOW OF SOME GOOD SPOTS LET ME KNOW I HAVE DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD MANY TIMES BUT HAVE FOUND FEW GOOD SPOTS. THERE IS A CABIN SOMEWHERE OFF THE MAIN ON THE RIVER BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.

Hi jscaster. Welcome to the board, I find the info invaluable. If I may be so bold as to offer 2 pieces of advice: don't use all Caps, and be less specific when discussing size of fish and location of pools on rivers. I will probably never fish the San Juan, but those that enjoy the pools you speak of are probably cringing a bit. One of the joys of river fishing is putting in the time to find holes on your own. Use the email feature to exchange exact spots with willing board members.
