General Info

Rainbow lodge and Resolution Guide Service: Located right on the banks of the San Juan River, just downstream from the town of Navajo Dam, New Mexico. We are the only lodge on the banks of the San Juan River in the public water area. From our lodge you can walk out the back gate and have access to over 6 wonderful miles of the San Juan River with uninterrupted access and no rod fees. Summer dry fly fishing on the San Juan River is great right out back! We are also the only lodge on the San Juan River offering an extensive choice of other rivers in the area to fish. We contract with guides who are permitted and licensed on well over 100 miles of other PRIME trout holding water in the area such as the headwaters of the San Juan River, the Animas River, the Rio Grande, and 9 other rivers and creeks. We are the only lodge in the area that has a professionally trained chef on property. Put all this together with well over half a century of combined guiding experience and you'll see why we are the only call you'll want to make. Lodging on the San Juan River: One of the newest lodges on the banks of the San Juan River in New Mexico, we offer fabulous accommodations. Our lodging is set up as suites, each with two bedrooms and a private bath. Each suite is beautifully decorated and has a spacious living room with couch and recliner chairs as well as satellite television, phone, mini refrigerator and dry bar. Each suite will sleep 4 anglers comfortably. All of the rooms at the lodge are non-smoking, but smoking areas are available outside. Meals on the San Juan River: We understand that the fishing is just part of the overall experience! Our Executive Chef Amber Michelle is beginning her 4th season at the Rainbow Lodge and is ready to ensure you experience the fine cuisine you have come to expect. Guide services on the San Juan River: We have assembled the strongest guide service the San Juan River has to offer. We have guides on the river close to 365 days a year! Some of our guides have been working the San Juan since 1988. We have a diverse guide team, and we believe in matching the client to the guide in order provide the most instructional, productive, or laid back day of fishing possible, depending on your preference. We also offer the most extensive choice of rivers to fish of any lodge in the area. We guide primarily on the San Juan but also offer our guests floats on over 100 miles of other rivers in the area from the upper San Juan River near Pagosa to the Animas in Durango, Colorado and the Rio Grande near Southfork, Colorado. We also guide Navajo Lake for carp, smallmouth and pike on the fly, or you may chose to use traditional tackle.
