Rio Grande River
South Fork, Colorado
San Juan Mountains
Most of you have heard of the Rio Grande river. It's one of the more well known rivers in New Mexico. The river also serves as an international boundry between the United States and Mexico. In fact, some of the more famous sections of the river run along the Texas and Mexico border.
If you are looking to do some trout fishing, we suggest that you check out the section near South Fork, Colorado. The Rio Grande river in this area is pristine and the water is clear and absolutely beautiful. There are miles of river frontage that are accessible to the general public. You can expect to latch onto some rather nice rainbow and brown trout in this part of the stream. There are a handful of fly fishing shops in the within a 30 mile radius of the South Fork section. We encourage you to stop in at those fly shops and talk with the local owners. They can turn you onto the hot flys that are working on the river at the particular time of year that you happen to visit.
Take time to do some sightseeing while you are there. The San Juan mountains are breathtaking. The roads are reasonably good, kind of windy, but the secenary makes it all worth while. Make sure you take your camera. You will find plenty of opportunities to take some incredible photos.
Tell us about your fishing spots. Send an email to Flyline@bellsouth.net. Include photos of your big catch.
