Customer Reviews

Quality waters of the San Juan River with the #1 Quality Guide by the name of Chris Gallegos. Highly recommend him and Born n’ Raised for any wade or float trip. They understand customer service and work super hard to please. Yes, caught plenty of Fish! Thank You Terry Chavez (owner) and Chris for a fantastic time!

What an exciting and unforgettable experience – meeting up for some family fly fishing at Navajo Dam with two experts from ‘Born N Raised’! Dave was my guide and coach, encouraging me to keep my eyes on the indicator and respond instantly to every bite, as he rowed upstream and let us drift down stream in the channel that was exactly where the fish were. By noon I’d caught 13 beautiful rainbows. Michael and Adam, in the boat with John as their guide, had a good catch too, but I was the star of the day. We were so eager to keep our lines in the water, we didn’t stop to take pictures of the catch. Thank you, Adam, for setting up this incredible adventure on the San Juan. Thanks Dave and John for getting us out on the river where we could experience fly fishing at its best. ~ Nancy Sherman, Montpelier Vermont

We went out with Don Haber for a full day on Thursday and a half day Friday in order to get down to the Lobo Ranch to shoot our elk; we took the biggest bull in our herd, a 5x5. That has to be the best combination of trips. Last year we timed our trip so that we got in a Pronghorn hunt, two days on the San Juan and finished with the balloon festival in Albuquerque. Plus, this year, we stayed at Abe's, an iconic location on the river. The room was great, food very good, and we got to catch a bunch of fish. I spend several weeks per year with a guide, either hunting or fishing, and what I enjoyed about Don was he had a great rap, and the day flew by. Some guides will hardly speak with you and others talk non stop. Don is like a good, consultative sales guy; he judges the situation and talks at an appropriate level. If you have a bunch of questions, you'll get a bunch of answers. If you don't want to talk, that's cool, too. Rick Thomas Hudson, OH
