Meet Your Guides

Jude has been fishing the San Juan River for 25 years. He is entering his 16th year as a guide. His specialties are sight-fishing, and hunting big fish. Jude loves to guide Wade Trips as much as he loves to guide Float Trips. 

Presley Garcia is a fly fishing guide and educator from the San Luis Valley who spends his free time chasing trout and sharing the river with others. During the school year he works as a teacher, but whenever breaks or weekends allow, you’ll find him on the water guiding anglers. Presley focuses on creating relaxed, enjoyable days on the water where anglers can learn, laugh, and catch fish along the way. Whether you’re new to fly fishing or looking to sharpen your skills, Presley aims to make every trip both productive and memorable.

Not only is fishing a thrilling activity, but it also provides an opportunity to take in the stunning natural scenery of the area. From crystal-clear lakes to rushing rivers, our fishing trips allow you to experience the beauty of Jude Duran Fly Fishing like never before.
