Moved to site 6 across the street, our reservations were for 14 nights and our time in site 5 is up. Somebody else has site 5 starting tonight. New Mexico parks have about 1/3 of their sites on no reservation status. Last week I asked the campground host if it would be alright if we stayed one additional night. She said it would be ok to stay another night.

This last picture is looking back at site 5.

If you have something that is messy or you don’t want water all over your site just go across the street and use the open site after people leave and before the next person gets there.

27 fish today
Got a fish on the first and second cast of the day
Fished from11:30 to 4:30

First half of the day was 10-12 inch trout mostly toward the 12 inch size, than got 4 small fish, than nothing.
I was using Zebra Midge size 18, went to a smaller 20 and 22 and started catching fish again, they are tough to hook with such a small fly and equally difficult to get all the way to the net.

Here is the summary of my epic fishing this year on the San Juan River.
