WHAT TO EXPECT

Whether you are a seasoned fisherman looking for new water or new techniques to improve your game, or if you are needing a fishing buddy, or if you have never held a fly rod, we have you covered. We offer both full and half day trips throughout the area. Our local waters vary from high alpine, hike access cutthroat lakes, to road accessed wade rivers – and everything in between! We customize each trip based on the experience you desire, current area fishing conditions, size of group and experience level. A few of our favorites are the Red River and the Rio Costilla.

The Red River is a freestone (not obstructed by any dams, subject to natural runoff) river that runs right through the town of Red River, NM. It begins on the north slope of Wheeler Peak (13,161’) and flows west through Red River, Questa, passing the Red River State Fish Hatchery into the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument where it joins with the Rio Grande. The Red River drainage holds Rainbow, Brown, Brook and Cutthroat Trout and is fishable in varying stretches and tributaries year-round. Public access is shared through BLM, NMDGF, USFS and the Town of Red River.

The Rio Costilla, located in the Valle Vidal unit of the Carson National Forest, is a beautiful meandering meadow stream great for beginners and experienced alike. The Costilla features a healthy population of native Rio Grande Cutthroat trout and has been the focus of many conservation and habitat projects. The Valle Vidal is home to thousands of elk, bear, Bighorn sheep and many other creatures. Those interested in fishing, wildlife spotting and photography cannot miss this one of a kind place. Access is restricted, with part of the public stretch open July 1st – December 31st.

The friendly guides from Red River Angler and Sport are CPR and First Aid certified and will make every effort to accommodate any disabilities or concerns to the best of our ability. We are licensed and insured to guide on 575-754-5086 for more information and to reserve your trip.
