A long hard winter, so we closed it out with a fishing trip to the San Juan in New Mexico. Snow covered passes through the mountains coming and going, but once there, temps up to 68, sunshine and lots of fish. Many trout in the 20 to 25" range. Dick Dow and I each caught 10 to 15 trout per day. One day had lots of wind.

With a wind knot like that, the clippers resolved the problem. Heavy wind one day.
Many fishers there use indicators ( bobbers) that size. I was using an egg fly. The top producers were San Juan worms and egg flies, size 22. Some were successful with streamers, I was not.
Thanks for posting pictures Bruce. This was another great trip to the San Juan. My departing and returning weather was just the opposite of yours. 88 degrees in Fullerton when I got home.
Bruce and I caught 22-24 inch rainbows in one hole about 2 minutes apart. Mine was in the net and he was hooked up or I would have thought they were the same fish. Lowest temp. 27 degrees at night and highest 67 during the day.
Bruce, did you fish your Parker Hawes rod? Looks like you and Dick had a good trip, I hate that I couldn't go. You know how it is for us youngsters who still work. Great pics like always.
