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.

The Valles Caldera National Preserve has extended the Fall fishing season on the East Fork and on the Rio San Antonio. There is new pricing and new times for this fall season. December 10th is the last date available for the year depending on weather and road conditions. See the Valles Caldera website at http://vallescaldera.gov/ for more details.

Alot of price savvy shoppers know to buy skis in the summer and fishing gear in the winter. The fishing year has ended for many of the manufacturers we deal with. As a result, there are quite a few deals to be had on rods, waders, and wading boots. We are prevented from listing prices on boots right now, but we have many styles and prices to choose from. Please give us a call and we'll let you know what we got. Also check out Jarrett's List from our homepage.
