I will be there.
Sorry that this happened. Action has been very supportive of GRTU historically. After the first stocking last year, they hosted the stocking crew to free burgers and beer. 6-7 years ago, my first year in the LAP, I was new to this and struggling and stopped in for help. The guy working there made sure my nymph rig was done correctly and took the time to tie one for me. I offered to pay and he refused. I hope what happened to you was just an aberration. As for the fishing, with higher flows some fish can hang just downstream from the bridge. With these flows, you probably need to go downstream or upstream from the bridge. There are some runs downstream and you can continue all the way to the CVC lease site.
Trice – what pattern attracted the sunglasses? ?
Great photo!! I hope I run into you two on the river.
Should not be an issue. Most are unmanned anyway. A couple are RV parks that will be opened because they have customers camped there.
Trey – sorry you had a bad experience at L&L. I’ve never had a noise issue, but I have gone only from November through March and most of the time I can stay far from other campers, which I make a point to do. Plus, I only go during the week since I’m retired (except when I help with a stocking). My wife and I are lifelong campers and generally go for state parks, national parks, or U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. Never a private RV park. Because its not crowded in the winter, L&L has worked out for me.
I have a 4.5-hour drive to get there and have always camped at Lazy L&L, first with a tent and the last few years with our teardrop trailer. There are two lease access sites there, so that is a plus (Devil’s Playground and behind the store). It’s also roughly in the middle of the leases. Mostly long term snowbirds there in the winter and you have lots of sites to choose from.
Got mine Tuesday in the frozen north of Plano. Complete, including the badge!
Thanks for your efforts!
Ditto on the donation. I’m in. Also, there is a huge excess of labor for the first stocking. Some of it could be diverted to the signs.
Signed in and completed the process about noon without a hitch, so apparently the problems are solved. I wish we were in the middle of the season!
Don’t know the precise date, but last year I signed up on 10/4 and I was lease holder #687. I think last year was the quickest to sell out. I would expect the email late September or first of October.
Where are you finding the temperature reports?
While on the subject of chapter business, the last entry on the Chapter Business forum was nine months ago. I’m wondering why chapter business isn’t reported in the Chapter Business forum?
Were you in the “quality waters” area.? Looks like you were on a boat.
I was there briefly nearly two years ago and it was sort of an accident. We were on an extended camping trip that included a week backpacking with family in the Wind River Range in Wyoming. We also camped in Colorado, Flaming Gorge, and the Moab, Utah, area. On the way home, my wife booked a couple of camp sights in NM. One happened to be Navajo Dam. I wasn’t paying much attention and she asked me, “on the river or on the lake (for the camp site)” I always prefer river.
We got there and I perused the campground map, discovering that the river was the San Juan. Made a beeline to the camp host who told me about Abe’s, which was my next stop. On their advice, showed up at the Pump House early the next morning and landed about 15 rainbows in an hour, losing probably five more.
Can’t wait to go back.
I definitely fit into the seniors category, and possibly cantankerous.?
