originates from snowmelt high in the San Juan Mountains above Silverton, CO. and
flows through spectacular scenery all the way to its junction with the San Juan
River below Farmington, NM. Flows in the Animas are heavily influenced by the
yearly snow pack. During the spring months, the river runs as high as 7500cfs.to
8000cfs. The spring-run off usually begins early April and ends in mid to late
June. |

| Once the water clears excellent fishing can be found along many stretches
of the river. Due to the long-term effects of mining pollution, the animas above
Rockwood to its headwaters are currently under going a restoration program. The
rivers fish population is showing signs of recovery but most public fishing is
done south of Hermosa. This does not mean that the fishing above Rockwood is not
spectacular.. Be sure to check the regulations and maps pages, which will
identify boundary areas. |
