Our Accommodations
Simple comfort for any group size
At Fisheads, our lodging is all about easy comfort and connection. Smaller groups can settle into private rooms, while larger parties enjoy spacious on-site houses with kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas that make it easy to gather and share the day’s stories. It’s a comfortable place to unwind and reconnect before another day on the San Juan.
Our Restaurant
Fresh ingredients and friendly faces
The Back Cast Café serves hearty lodge favorites and regional New Mexican dishes, all prepared with care and local ingredients. Guests start each day with a hot, made-to-order breakfast and end it with generous dinners that rotate nightly. Local beer, wine, and spirits round out the meal as guests trade stories and laughter from the day on the water.
"The best bang for your buck is Fisheads. For the quality of fishing and the fishing experience and quality of guides, it’s better than many places you’d spend twice as much."
— George Peck
