I moved to the current with Bruce Hopper and caught some decent fish, none of
them with lip sores. They were more difficult to catch, so I guess that's why
more people didn't fish the currents.

I fished all the way up from the Texas hole to the cable hole. I'm not sure
what you are calling the currents, but - as I said - I didn't see anyone fish
the way you describe or any fish deformed the way you describe. When the fish
school up by your feet you should move so they take up their feeding stations
again.

If you fished the Kiddie Hole and didn't see any deformed fish then
you must have got skunked at the Kiddie Hole. Louie's right, Kiddie
Hole fishing isn't even sportsmanlike.

I hired a guide, the Camo Man, to teach me how to fish the San Juan
on my first day there. He took me to the Kiddie Hole and taught me
that if you go three drifts without a fish, you must have slime on
your fly. That's how easy it is to catch fish there. It's a joke.
I showed Dan'l, who at that time was a tyro, what the Camo Man
showed me (right before I performed a spectacular 5 star full Reid
in the December chill) and he was able to slay them too. That ain't
fly fishing (no offense to Dan'l).

Away from the braids where the river has a strong current.

but - as I said - I didn't see anyone fish
the way you describe or any fish deformed the way you describe.

I didn't see any mangled fish except those caught at the Kiddie Hole and a few
caught in the braids.

When the fish
school up by your feet you should move so they take up their feeding stations
again.

Which means you are going to be constantly moving. I saw people that were
fishing for the fish *at their feet*, hence my remarks about it not being fly
fishing. I spent about an hour in the braids and five minutes at the KH and I
didn't enjoy it. I did, however, enjoy the main river that contained a pretty
good current and caught some very nice fish there.
