Fishing Road Trip: April 2016

My fishing buddy Mark and I joined with six other fisherman through Ozark Anglers of Little Rock for a 3-day guided, drift boat fishing experience on the Green River in Utah, below Flaming Gorge Dam. The other fellas flew to Salt Lake City and motored up to Dutch John. Mark and I chose to drive to see the scenery and fish some other streams on the way. Our first stop was in Cimarron State Park, New Mexico. Following the preference of staying in local Mom/Pop quaint lodging that Charlcie and I try to experience on our road trips, we spent the night at the Cimarron Inn, after a 12-day on the road. We fished the Cimarron River the next morning for a few hours before moving on up the road to Navajo Dam and the San Juan River. The Cimarron is a small stream that is a protected trout water, but this time of year was subject to runoff which made the stream muddy and fishing not too productive. But we nevertheless caught a few small trout and enjoyed the uncrowded stream and canyon.
