Just returned from a sampling trip to the San Juan so this report will feature uplake fishing but will still be applicable to the lake in general.

South Mesa Neskahi (didn't have to move) but stripers were also caught in big numbers on bait at the mouth of Piute Canyon and on major points on the opposite side of the lake. There are a tremendous number of hungry stripers in the San Juan from Cha Canyon upstream. Many are stressed from lack of food and becoming thin. Of the fish we caught, healthy ones outnumbered thin ones by a 5:1 ratio. If using bait the ratio will be five thin to one healthy striper. Healthy stripers are stronger and faster and get to the shad first. Active surface lures and spoons select stronger fish. Thin fish are slower and will respond better to passive chum and suspended bait. Catch and keep all stripers as forage is not abundant. Stripers will suffer winter kill and must be harvested as soon as Where else?' t Appfcancix. etectaomts. lawn gvden.

On the morning of stripers were occasionally surfacing (slurping) in open water and along the shoreline. Casting surface lures near points and across coves near slurps produced stripers on almost every cast for most of the morning. When topwater slowed a spoon dropped to the bottom at about 45 feet got them going again. We caught 50 stripers in two hours. We only fished the coves upstream from and not inhabiting the main channel. The exception to that is Hite and upper San Juan where shad are abundant and stripers are found in the main channel. Hie lack of shad is important, in that, when shad are located fishing will be excellent in that fered good fishing with baits and lures over the holiday It Warm Creek (Cottonwood Wash or haystacks), Gunsight, Padre, Last Chance, Friendship Cove, Dry Rock Creek, Deep Canyon, Piute Canyon, Halls Creek Bay and Hite to Fourmile Canyon.
