It's that time of year again. Time for brown trout to spawn and make more fish! Please be ethical and leave the spawners alone. Often they'll be found over their redd, paired up and doing the deed. These fish are absolutely off limits! Some of the fish that aren't actively spawning are found close by and are still eating, These fish are OK to target, but please limit your wading and never wade through a redd. A redd is a circular area of clean gravel usually found in the tailout of pools and runs. Enjoy the fall fishing, just do it in a manner that you'll be able to sleep at night.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who contributed their time to the Spring River Cleanup on the Pecos on Saturday, June 26! I know that trash on the Pecos seems to be a constant problem. We all benefit from the efforts of the people who took a precious Saturday morning to make the river a nicer place to fish. There are many problems that affect our closest and best place to wet a line. Please, if you like to have this resource made better or utilize it despite it's woes, call the Forest Service, Game and Fish, New Mexico State Police, or heck, even Governor Richardson's office and voice your concerns. Groups like the Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Upper Pecos Watershed Association need your help in highlighting the plight of the Pecos River. If you'd like more info on how you can help, contact the Upper Pecos Watershed Association at 78 S. Main Street in Pecos, or please call the UPWA office at 505-757-3600 and speak to Rachel or Lexy.

Our good friend and owner of the Enchanted Hideaway Lodge, Gretchen Lee passed away Sunday, June 6th. She was well known throughout the community of Navajo Dam and the San Juan River. She had the biggest heart and the softest spot in it was for dogs. She rescued dozens and often took in the ones no one else wanted. As a huge lover of dogs myself, Saint Gretchen will always occupy a soft spot in my heart. Those who knew this wonderful woman will surely miss her. Her lodge in Navajo Dam is currently open for business. Still a great place to stay, especially if you get the Stone House and share it with a few fishing buddies.

No High Spring Peak Release this year on the San Juan River. The latest Water Supply Forecast for Water Year 2010 has been issued and the April through July inflow into Navajo Lake is forecasted to be at 89% of normal. Given this forecast, there will not be a spring peak release this year. It's a little unfortunate that the river won't see a scouring this year and flush out some of the accumulated sand and silt. The upside is that there shouldn't be a dip in business for the San Juan guides. The high spring release often keeps anglers away despite the fact that fishing is very good during the event.

The latest Water Supply Forecast for Water Year 2010 has been issued and the April through July inflow into Navajo Lake is forecasted to be at 89% of normal. Given this forecast, there will not be a spring peak release this year. It's a little unfortunate that the river won't see a scouring this year and flush out some of the accumulated sand and silt. The upside is that there shouldn't be a dip in business for the San Juan guides. The high spring release often keeps anglers away despite the fact that fishing is very good during the event.
The annual Spring River Cleanup on the Pecos will be on Saturday, June 26! Please meet us at the Upper Pecos Watershed Association office at 78 S. Main Street in Pecos at 9:00 am. Come get coffee, pastries and to your cleanup assignments. Bags, gloves and safety vests will be provided. We will be giving away stainless steel water bottles to all volunteers! The BBQ picnic will be at the Jamie Koch Pavilion following the cleanup at 12 noon. Pecos River BBQ Company will be doing the cooking (food will be donated)! We will also be having a bucket raffle with great prizes. If you have items you would like to donate for the bucket raffle, or would like more information please call the UPWA office at 757-3600 and speak to Rachel or Lexy.

Yes it's back and only in Santa Fe! We are offering Tai Chi Fly Fishing classes this spring. This spring we have made a few changes in how we are building the class. Jeff English and I have built 4 one hour sessions, all built around the principals of spiral energy and balance, that will build on each previous class, as well as be of value standing alone. As you may remember me saying last time, I have noticed a considerable personal growth in confidence in and on the water, as well as a more relaxed comportment after a full day of fishing. The four classes will be run on the four in April, 2-3 pm, indoors at Jeff English' studio. We plan to limit the class size to 6 - 10 people. Advance registration is required. The cost is $20.00 per session. To make reservations or for more information, please call Doug Brown at 505-660-9906, or the High Desert Angler at 505-988-7688.

Thanks to all who made it out to the Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited's annual banquet on Saturday April 10th. The Guest Speaker was Brian O'Keefe. If you've seen cover photos on Field & Stream; Outdoor Life; Fly Fisherman; Fly, Rod and Reel; Fly Fishing Salt Waters; Fly and Fish Magazine; Outside Magazine and Mens Journal, then you've probably seen some of Brian O'Keefe's work. The turn out was good and the funds raised will really help the Truchas Chapter with many of their programs.

Who would win..... Mothra or Sculpzilla? Well come find out at the Giant Fly Sale at the High Desert Angler!! Too many patterns to mention. Most trout flies at 25 cents and tungsten beadheads at $1.oo. We just received huge shipments of new flies from Solitude, Umpqua, and our newest vendor; Idylwilde. We had to bump some of the old stand-by's to make room for these hot new killer patterns. We increased our stock of tungsten beaded flies and brought in some hot new streamers like Sculpzillas. Come in and check out the new stuff and pick up some of your old faves at a great price. Remember, that you get a 20 percent discount on flies when you bring in your own High Desert Angler fly box or fly cup and buy 20 or more regularly priced flies!

Who would win..... Mothra or Sculpzilla? Well come find out at the Giant Fly Sale at the High Desert Angler!! Too many patterns to mention. Most trout flies at 25 cents and tungsten beadheads at $1.oo. We just received huge shipments of new flies from Solitude, Umpqua, and our newest vendor; Idylwilde. We had to bump some of the old stand-by's to make room for these hot new killer patterns. We increased our stock of tungsten beaded flies and brought in some hot new streamers like Sculpzillas. Come in and check out the new stuff and pick up some of your old faves at a great price. Remember, that you get a 20 percent discount on flies when you bring in your own High Desert Angler fly box or fly cup and buy 20 or more regularly priced flies!
Yes it's back and only in Santa Fe! We are offering Tai Chi Fly Fishing classes this spring. This spring we have made a few changes in how we are building the class. Jeff English and I have built 4 one hour sessions, all built around the principals of spiral energy and balance, that will build on each previous class, as well as be of value standing alone. As you may remember me saying last time, I have noticed a considerable personal growth in confidence in and on the water, as well as a more relaxed comportment after a full day of fishing. The four classes will be run on the four Saturdays in March and April, 2-3 pm, indoors at Jeff English' studio. We plan to limit the class size to 6 - 10 people. Advance registration is required. The cost is $20.00 per session. To make reservations or for more information, please call Doug Brown at 505-660-9906, or the High Desert Angler at 505-988-7688.

Governor Richardson announced that all New Mexico State Parks will remain open during the remainder of state employee furlough days. Governor Richardson announced the change after receiving dozens of requests from New Mexico residents, local municipalities and businesses asking to keep parks open because of concerns about the negative economic impact closures could have on local economies. Listening to constituent concerns, Governor Richardson worked with State Parks and the State Personnel Office to come up with the plan that will still require State Park employees to take three remaining furlough days. Those employees who are needed to work to keep parks open on designated furlough days, will be required to take alternate furlough days. The bottom line is that Navajo Lake State Park and the San Juan River and locally, the Pecos River at Villanueva State Park will not close as scheduled and fly fishers can enjoy the resource at will.
Yes it's back and only in Santa Fe! We are offering Tai Chi Fly Fishing classes this spring. Each class lasts an hour and the first one is on March 6th at 2:00 pm. There will be a class each Saturday in March. A repeat of the first four session will be held in April. Each class stands alone, but will build on skills learned in the earlier classes. You will be able to apply the techniques learned in theses indoor classes on the water in a half-day class in May or June. Dates to be determined by spring run-off. Each indoor session costs $20.00 and the on the water cost has yet to be determined. It wiil cost more to include private water use fees, lunch, and a half-day's guide fee. For more infomation or any questions, please contact Doug Brown at 505-660-9906.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is accepting entries in a contest to design a logo for the state's new bass fishing license plate. Artists of all ages are invited to enter their original works in the contest. The grand prize winning entry will be reproduced on the state's bass fishing license plate, which will support bass habitat management in waters statewide. The grand prize winner will receive $500. Two $50 prizes will be awarded to winners in the youth division for artists whose 18th birthday is before March 1, 2010. The New Mexico B.A.S.S. Federation Nation and the Department of Game and Fish are each paying half the prize money. A bill passed by the 2009 state Legislature authorized the Motor Vehicle Division to issue the special bass fishing plate for any private motor vehicle except a motorcycle. Motorists can buy a plate for a one-time fee of $25 and an annual fee of $10 in addition to the regular registration fees. All but $10 of those fees will go to the Bass Habitat Management Program of the state Game Protection Fund. The deadline for artwork submissions to the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish for the contest is March 1, 2010. Any two-dimensional media, including but not limited to prints, oils, pastels, acrylics, water media, pen and ink, graphite, photography, digital and mixed media will be considered.

2010 Big Horn Dates: June 5-13!!!! I have been going to FT. Smith MT to fish the Big Horn River below the Yellow Tail Reservoir since June of 2000. I really like this time of year on the ‘Horn, first off the crowds are minimal, and our local rivers are still in run-off. This makes this trip the perfect primer for the up coming Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado season. Not to mention The Big Horn is quite possibly one of the top 5 tail waters on the planet. Out of 24 spots over the 8 days I will be there I know I only have one boat for two persons available. This is the kind of trip you want to do again and again and most of the returning anglers have been going with me since my second or third trip. So give a call for details and to sign up. The price stays the same, $1600 per person for four nights and three days of guided fishing. All meals, lodging and flies are included, you must get a MT fishing license and you have to get yourself there and back.

This makes this trip the perfect primer for the up coming Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado season. Not to mention The Big Horn is quite possibly one of the top 5 tail waters on the planet. Out of 24 spots over the 8 days I will be there I know I only have one boat for two persons available. This is the kind of trip you want to do again and again and most of the returning anglers have been going with me since my second or third trip. So give a call for details and to sign up. The price stays the same, $1600 per person for four nights and three days of guided fishing. All meals, lodging and flies are included, you must get a MT fishing license and you have to get yourself there and back.
The Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited has announced the date for their annual banquet. It'll be at the Inn at Loretto on Saturday April 10th. The Guest Speaker will be Brian O'Keefe. If you've seen cover photos on Field & Stream; Outdoor Life; Fly Fisherman; Fly, Rod and Reel; Fly Fishing Salt Waters; Fly and Fish Magazine; Outside Magazine and Mens Journal, then you've probably seen some of Brian O'Keefe's work. A fly fisher from a very early age, Brian has traveled the world in search of good fish and for the past twenty years, great photos. He is a master level certified fly casting instructor (FFF), dynamic speaker, and a tackle rep for Scientific Anglers in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. We are very pleased he will be visitng from his home territory in Oregon to be speaker at our annual Banquet. Expect great raffle and silent auction prizes, good food and excellent company. Stay tuned: We'll have more on Banquet plans as they develop.

Ed's Fly Fishing News for the Week of February 8, 2010
Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers! Learn more at 100thmeridian.org.
Governor Richardson announced that all New Mexico State Parks will remain open during the remainder of state employee furlough days. Governor Richardson announced the change after receiving dozens of requests from New Mexico residents, local municipalities and businesses asking to keep parks open because of concerns about the negative economic impact closures could have on local economies. Listening to constituent concerns, Governor Richardson worked with State Parks and the State Personnel Office to come up with the plan that will still require State Park employees to take three remaining furlough days. Those employees who are needed to work to keep parks open on designated furlough days, will be required to take alternate furlough days. The bottom line is that Navajo Lake State Park and the San Juan River and locally, the Pecos River at Villanueva State Park will not close as scheduled and fly fishers can enjoy the resource at will.
Yes it's back and only in Santa Fe! We are offering Tai Chi Fly Fishing classes this spring. Each class lasts an hour and the first one is on March 6th at 2:00 pm. There will be a class each Saturday in March. A repeat of the first four session will be held in April. Each class stands alone, but will build on skills learned in the earlier classes. You will be able to apply the techniques learned in theses indoor classes on the water in a half-day class in May or June. Dates to be determined by spring run-off. Each indoor session costs $20.00 and the on the water cost has yet to be determined. It wiil cost more to include private water use fees, lunch, and a half-day's guide fee. For more infomation or any questions, please contact Doug Brown at 505-660-9906.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is accepting entries in a contest to design a logo for the state's new bass fishing license plate.

A bill passed by the 2009 state Legislature authorized the Motor Vehicle Division to issue the special bass fishing plate for any private motor vehicle except a motorcycle. Motorists can buy a plate for a one-time fee of $25 and an annual fee of $10 in addition to the regular registration fees.

Just in case you didn’t hear, we are now directly across the street from the old location. The new address is 460 Cerrillos Road. We are the Cerrillos /Sandoval split now! I will be striping the parking lot soon, but you will see there is easy parking around the building from every side, come on down a check it out!! Please park at the new location, or at a meter on Sandoval. It is important that we make every effort not to park in the old lot behind the old location, thanks!
2010 Big Horn Dates: June 5-13!!!! I have been going to FT. Smith MT to fish the Big Horn River below the Yellow Tail Reservoir since June of 2000. I really like this time of year on the ‘Horn, first off the crowds are minimal, and our local rivers are still in run-off. This makes this trip the perfect primer for the up coming Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado season. Not to mention The Big Horn is quite possibly one of the top 5 tail waters on the planet. Out of 24 spots over the 8 days I will be there I know I only have 8 to 10 spots available. This is the kind of trip you want to do again and again and most of the returning anglers have been going with me since my second or third trip. So give a call for details and to sign up. The price stays the same, $1600 per person for four nights and three days of guided fishing. All meals, lodging and flies are included, you must get a MT fishing license and you have to get yourself there and back.
