River, just downstream from the town of Navajo Dam, New Mexico. We are the only lodge on
the banks of the river in the public water area. From our lodge you can walk out the
back gate and have access to over 6 miles of the San Juan River with uninterrupted access
and no rod fees. What could be better than a little dry fly action out your back door
after a memorable dinner? We are also the only lodge in the area offering an extensive
choice of other rivers and creeks in the area to fish as well as Navajo Lake for bass,
pike and carp. We are the only lodge in the area to have a professionally trained Chef on
property. Put all this together with one of the most experienced guide staffs on the river
and you'll see why we are the only call you want to make.

| A spacious high-desert mesa lodge,
comprised of two buildings on a naturally-landscaped 4+ acre property, with grape vines
and fruit trees strategically located around the lodge, affording unique privacy, in the
midst of majestic mesas overlooking the great San Juan River Valley. Surrounded in large
part by BLM (Bureau of Land Management/public land) land, the lodge realized its humble
beginning as a quaint country home for an early, long-time flyfisherman, here, on the
outskirts of Navajo Dam, NM, in the Land of Enchantment. If time allows, after fishing the
Quality Water, the BLM land with a nice stretch of the Acequia
(very large irrigation ditch/canal, built in 1907, that originates from the San Juan River
upstream), is a great challenge with its unique flows and lies, home to wild Browns and
Rainbows that dare to tread where Browns call home.
The
lodge affords a great deal of privacy, with no neighbor's door opening and closing next to
you. Enjoy the New Mexican, southwestern charm, while we provide all of the comforts of
home for you in a natrual, private setting.
Four of the five units (suite, condos, house) have
fully-equipped kitchens. Spacious patios surround the main building with gas grills and
chimeneas for outside cooking and "campfires." The West building which houses
the condos (550 sq. ft. each, with a queen bed in the bedroom and two twins, plus
fully-equipped kitchens), has grills and a patio and chimenea, as well. There are rod
racks, wader hooks, tying lamps, tying tables and plenty of room for equipment and boats.
HYDE DRIFT BOATS are available for rent. The lodge is a fly fisherman's home headquarters
at the San Juan River, in a most convenient location. The "Stone House" is a
1600 sq. ft. home, in the Main Building., which also houses the "San Juan Suite"
(1300 sq. ft.) and the "best value at the San Juan River," the "Fly
Room." After a long day on the river, come back and relax in our 7-person Spa.
IN OUR ON-GOING EFFORT TO PROVIDE OUR GUESTS THE FINEST
IN ACCOMMODATIONS, WE NOW HAVE DIRECT TV IN ALL
RENTALS!
Our most CONVENIENT location is only two minutes away from the
Community of Navajo Dam.
We don't want you to have "travel surprises" of the
negative type and we welcome photo requests. We'll send jpgs of our vacation rentals, both
inside and out, upon request, and a PDF of our brochure with interior and exterior photos
can be email attached and sent to you. We believe that a family vacation should include
the ENTIRE family, so your canine companions are welcome.
Excellent GUIDE SERVICES/GUIDE referrals are available through
the lodge and they can plan a lower river float through the many ranches downstream -
BROWN TROUT PARADISE. Most special services can be arranged for, including courier/errand
service, airport shuttles, etc.
Thanks to everyone for your continued loyalty and wonderful
word-of-mouth referrals!
If we are booked on your dates and must refer you elsewhere, we
take no referral fee for such.

Fight Fish, Not People: Soaring Eagle Lodge has special access

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. |
