Fly Fishing in Northern New Mexico

This is a comprehensive guide to over thirty streams and twelve lakes. This revised edition contains new, specialised information on access, equipment, stream characteristics, trout species and size, timing of insect hatches, as well as artificial fly patterns likely to result in success. Local anglers and visitors alike will be able to plan more productive outings while exploring new fishing areas and different species of fish. From the trophy waters of the San Juan and Rio Grande to the Chama and the Brazos, New Mexico is home to more than four thousand miles of cold-water streams teeming with cut-throat, brown, rainbow, and brook trout. With the state's year-round fishing season, anglers can find water matched to any level of skill and style of fly fishing. In addition to chapters devoted to specific streams and lakes, the book includes detailed maps, important information on regulations, the fishing year, and environmental concerns.
