If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Legacy Angling. With master guide Timothy at the oars, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout are in the cards. With over 15,000 Trout per mile, the San Juan is an excellent year round fishery!

You can expect to do some fly fishing, and any fish caught on these trips will be released. It is possible to do a float down the bait waters to harvest 5 fish per angler if that is your goal.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 15' Hyde drift boat that can carry up to 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. All fly fishing equipment, rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as flies.

Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the guide.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunblock. There will be some bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Navajo Dam for yourself, with Legacy Angling!

Great Day!
Half Day Trip – Float (AM) on July 14, 20252 adults
Captain Tim was great with an incredible knowledge of the river and how to fish it! Catching and keeping fish was our goal and we were not disappointed! One away from our limit! Captain Tim worked hard teaching one of us to fly fish and the other using a spinning reel. We will be back and probably ready to get to the Quality Waters for trophy size fish. Our captain learned to take the stringer of fish off the boat before putting it onto the trailer! It really was a great day!

Tim Great patient coaching Guide.
Half Day Trip – Float (AM) on July 30, 20252 adults
Second trip w Tim. Great booked him again today. Got a 24 inch Trophy Brown and 6 other Quality Trout including losing Huge Rainbow after 15 min fight. Tim clean cut Knowledgeable Great for a 88 year old hard of hearing Vietnam Vet or families. His roots are his Legacy as part of the Chavez San Juan family. Missed some initially as I was rusty. Released over 10 trout. At takeout hole kept 2 smaller ones to eat. Highly Recommend Tim.
