The Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited's Annual Banquet is this Saturday March 31st. This year's banquet will be at the Scottish Rite Temple (the big pink church downtown) at 463 Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe. Door's open at 6:00 for cocktails and bidding on auction items with dinner and a featured presentation to follow. The cost is $50.00 per person. This year's featured speaker is April Volkey, a top steelhead guide on the Dean River in British Columbia. Please e-mail Buck Bradford at vmabuck@gmail.com to RSVP or for more information.

The Valles Caldera National Preserve fishing program will not reopen for the 2012 Spring Season. They had hoped to reopen their fishing program on May 12, 2012, despite the damage from last year's Las Conchas Wildfire. A review of their stream monitoring program indicates the fishing program will need to remain closed until restoration efforts have been implemented. They do not anticipate these efforts to take more than a few months, but they cannot guarantee an opening date at this point. "We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to restore the quality fishing program we are known for. If you have already made fishing reservations for the 2012 season, you will be refunded by March 16, 2012. We apologize for the inconvenience, and encourage you to check out the other experiences offered on the Preserve."

The Fishing Program at Pecos National Historical Park resumed Thursday March 8th. This first spring season runs from March 8th through April 9th. To take part in the fishing program, you can make advanced reservations for the two beats available per day (six anglers total) either by emailing the park at peco_visitor_information@nps.gov or by calling the reservation line at 505-757-7272. If those spots are filled for the day you seek, you can try showing up at the Visitor Center to see if there are spaces available on the third beat, which has three spots and is always reserved for walk-ins. In order to get a fishing permit at the Park, you must possess a valid New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMG&F) fishing license and Habitat Management and Access Validation.
