[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3539585, member: 5412"] Congrats on getting into an addictive hobby. I rarely fish with anything other than a fly rod these days. Spent 2 1/2 months fishing northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado last summer. The Red River is becoming difficult to fish as they are letting the stream go back to its natural state. Lots of willows lining the banks to control erosion, etc. the Rio Grande is accessible at the John Dunn bridge. You can walk up or downstream to access the pools. The further you walk the better the fishing gets. Probably my favorite stream is the Rio Los Pinos’ in Northern NM. The fish and game folks have created the perfect habitat by building pools, riffles, falls, etc. There are trophy areas that contain bigger fish and area’s easily accessed for stockers. The stream is on public property but does cross some private ground that you have to bypass. We fished most of it all the way to Chama NM. That stream is pretty well known as great habitat for rattlesnakes as well. We never saw one but talked to others that had. Below is the Los Pinos’ [ATTACH=full]197175[/ATTACH] Keep your eye open for fly rods and reels at estate and garage sales. I picked up a 7.5’ Gloomis 3wt for $50 and a Lamson reel for $5 at an estate sale. That 3 wt is a hoot to catch big trout on and is almost a necessity on some of the small streams that are overgrown with trees, brush, etc. [ATTACH=full]197184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]197186[/ATTACH] Finding the bedding area in local lakes when bluegill are spawning is great fishing locally with fly gear.
