Just finished a book called San Juan River Chronicle by Steve Meyer.
I fished the Juan in Northern NM more times than I recall a couple of decades ago, and normally fished with Gary Wilmart who was a pretty renowned guide in the area...he never had any sons so him and his wife kind of took me and my single friends in as their adopted sons, at least on the river.
I bought this book a long time ago, and never got around to reading it. It was in my bookcase, and I guess since I had fished with Steve and the Juan, I figured I knew what was in it...it was written in '97 before the decline of the river...
It's quite good, and a good read even if you have never fished the Juan. It's short, but powerful. I can definitely relate to much of what is written and Steve does a good job...
You can find it on Amazon or other book sites if you are interested...
