The wife and I are planning on retiring to the upper NW section of New Mexico in about 3 years..... California is just too darn expensive.
I fished the Juan way back in the late 80's and it was fantastic, we drove from the summit area in Colorado where I lived. It remains one of my most memorable fishing experiences, I've never fished water like that in California.
Has anyone fished there recently? I realize it's crowded at times if not most of the time, but the recent biologist claim that there's 80,000+ trout in the prime section(3-4 miles)of river. I've been in contact with a resident fly fisher from Aztec and he says it's the reason why he moved from southern Cal.
Plus it's open all year, river is barbless and catch/release.
