fly fishing The Red River in Taos
New Mexico / Winter fly fishing
The
Red River is a spring-fed river and the main tributary for spawning and wintering
fish coming from the Rio Grande Gorge and it’s our only natural stream in
Northern NM that offers excellent winter fly fishing. Since its only 15 minutes
from Taos, its our favorite beginner Taos fly fishing destination.
Thousands
of browns, many over 18 inches, run up the Red River every Fall to spawn. The
browns feed aggressively during this migration and are challenging to land in
the fast canyon pocket water.
Winter brings in the wintering and spawning cutbows
and rainbows from the Gorge and they feed willingly on the midges and occasionally,
blue winged olives and caddis. Of course there is a healthy resident population
of rainbows and browns in the Red as well. Combine a winter fly fishing trip on
the Red River with a trip on the Culebra and/or skiing in Taos!
fly fishing The Rio Grande in Taos New
Mexico
The Rio Grande River flows out of Southern Colorado's San Luis Valley
into the 70 mile long Rio Grande Gorge, a sheer canyon running parallel
and slightly west of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains near Taos. The Rio
Grande Gorge is the epitome of wild freestone river fly fishing. Uncontrolled
by dams for the most part, the river is influenced almost completely by
nature. As a result the trout, like the fly fishing are unpredictable.
The spring (April) before run-off during the classic caddis hatch and
fall are the best and most consistent times to fish the Rio Grande Gorge.
Streamers work well for lunker cutbows and browns especially for fall
browns. We do some custom fly fishing float trips each year through some
very remote parts of the Gorge but for the most part our trips are hike
in and wade or drive up and wade.For the adventurous angler that likes
a chance at catching large, wild trout that have rarely, if ever been
hooked or seen a fly, fly fishing the Rio Grande Gorge is just what the
doctor ordered.
