The Cutthroat Chapter hosts multi-day trips to the Green River in April, the Bighorn River in May, and the San Juan River in October each year.
We share the costs of the rental home(s)/resort plus organize carpools to help lower the price of the trips. The trips are four to five nights which can accommodate 10 – 12 fly fishers and are usually full each year, so sign up early!
Starting in 2024, a $150 non-refundable deposit is now required to sign up paid by check or other electronic means as determined by the organizer of the trip.
In 2025, sign-ups for the trips will begin with the announcement of the dates in the January Newsletter.
The trips are first-come-first-served based on when your deposit is received by the organizer. If your deposit is received after the trip is full then your deposit will be returned, and you will be added to a waitlist. If you need to cancel for any reason after your deposit has been received by the organizer, then you must find someone to replace you who will pay you the $150 deposit. If you cannot find someone to replace you then your deposit will be forfeited to the other participants to help offset the additional costs.
Carpools are organized to help lower transportation costs. The driver typically does not pay for fuel as there is wear and tear on the vehicle, so the fuel is paid for by the other occupant(s).
The San Juan River – October 25th - 30th, 2024
The San Juan River is world-renowned for providing some of the most rewarding trout fishing you will ever experience. The San Juan is a consistent producer of rainbows and browns averaging 16 to 18 inches with many reaching much larger proportions. The Quality Waters are in northwest New Mexico below the Navajo Dam and Reservoir. We will be staying in VRBO rental houses located near the river, which are fully equipped with kitchens, and multiple bedrooms and baths. We usually grill Tri-tips the first night, and Italian, Mexican, or something else the other nights. You will be assigned to a meal team that will provide the food, prepare it, and clean up one night for everyone. You are responsible for your breakfast and lunch.
The price range of the accommodations per fisher is typically $350 to $450 for the five nights depending on the final number of participants. The trip is limited to 12 people.
Please reach out to the trip organizer for current availability for this trip.
