The Cutthroat Chapter has been notified by Duranglers (Durango fly shop) that the New Mexico Dept. of Game & Fish is considering lifting a two-fly per rig regulation that has been in place for the San Juan River below Navajo Dam for more than 10 years. When it was passed this regulation had strong support from outfitters, guides and anglers. The San Juan in this stretch is very popular so there is tremendous pressure on the fish population. Removing this rule would mean that anglers could fish with up to six flies per rig, increasing the possibility of damage to fish. The New Mexico Wildlife Commissioners will vote on this rule on Nov. 30. Duranglers is asking for support to oppose changing the two-fly rule. Please contact Duranglers (970-385-4081) or the NM Wildlife Commission (505-476-8000) if you wish to voice your support for stopping this rule change.
