Chris
Taylor, owner of Fisheads
Guide Service, has recently
purchased Rizuto’s San Juan River Lodge in the center of the
town of Navajo Dam. Those of you who have fished with Fisheads Guide
Service know the quality and the eagerness to please that has made
Fisheads the premier guide service on the San Juan river. That same
quality and service is now available in lodging on the river.
LODGE
Fisheads San Juan River Lodge has eight rooms that will accommodate up
to eighteen people. Each room has been remodeled, and all of them have
32” flat screenTV’s with Direct TV satellite
access, microwave ovens, refrigerators and WiFi access. All of the
bedding is new as are the pillows. Pride is evident everywhere in the
cleanliness and upkeep of each room.
Coming
on line soon will be an accommodation called
“Chuck’s Place” which is a four bedroom
house. The house has a master suite with its own bath, two bedrooms
with queen size beds and one bedroom with a double bed. There is also
another full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer and a
living room with a futon and a 42” flat screen TV. As with
all of the accommodations, Chuck’s Place is fully air
conditioned. This will be perfect for families, and small groups that
want to stay together.

Also at the Fisheads San Juan River Lodge is an endorsed fully equipped
ORVIS fly shop. In the fly shop, we offer the full line of ORVIS
equipment and accessories. With a minimum $50.00 order, anything you
order from us will be shipped to you for free. The fly selection we
offer at the shop is second to none on the San Juan. They are custom
tied flies specifically for the San Juan and its unique hatches. You
can also get up to date information on the river and its hatches so you
know what bugs are hatching and what flies are working as soon as you
get here. No wasting time trying to figure out what’s going
on your first day. Start right off with the correct flies and catching
those famous San Juan River trout. You will find our staff very
knowledgeable and eager to help and share their experience and
knowledge of the river.
RESTAURANT
By the end of July, we will have our restaurant, “The
Backcast Cafe” open
for your dining pleasure. The restaurant will bring great food prepared
by Chef Josh Mesker, a graduate of Johnson Wales Culinary School, to
the town of Navajo Dam. Josh will be offering fine dining as well as
lighter fare to satiate your appetite after a great day of fishing on
the river. Until the restaurant opens, we are within easy walking
distance of the two restaurants in the town of Navajo Dam.

Fish, Not People: Soaring Eagle Lodge has special access

but truly private… the fish in this area are primitive and
wild. Large
brown trout are not uncommon in this section of the river. We
limit this
fishing to 6 lucky angler per day. Restriction on the ranch
provides you
with solitude so you don't have to fight the crowds of this world class
fishery
but prior reservation is required. |
