If you do the San Juan, I would also recommend doing a float instead of a wade. It's not a long float, but you will more than likely catch more fish that way. Also, the guide will have all of the equipment if you do not have it already. Corky (one of duranglers guides) is a fellow Texan, whom also guides bowhunting in TX,CO, and NM, if you are into that kind of string and feathers also.

x2 I just moved back from Ridgway on the N side of the passes from Durango. It's a couple hr drive but well worth it. Check out Rigs in Ridgway http://fishrigs.com/. They will do wade trips w u in various places around the San Juans and Float trips down the Gunnison. I recommend the float trip. The fishing up there is better than down in Durango.

Maybe its just me but depending on where you fish I don't think u need the waders. I take my wade boots and booties...felt soled chola's $75 and work great. use them in the mts and down here on the bays. Its dang hot up there right now, more so than usual and they didn't have much snow over the winter reducing the spring run off. So waders might get pretty dang hot. Let the outfitter tell you but I've done it in tennis shoes and shorts plenty.
