The Pecos National Historical Park is also closed to fishing. They will let anyone with a reservation on the river throught the 4th. Currently there is no walk on fishing at the park. Please see their website for the details at http://www.nps.gov/peco/index.htm and click on "2011 Fishing Program". All campgrounds, day use picnic areas, and trails within the Jemez Ranger District, Espanola Ranger District, Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger District, Cuba Ranger District and the Valles Caldera National Preserve are closed. This include popular hilking trails around Santa Fe like Atalaya, Chamisa, and Winsor Trails, and also includes open space trails like Dorothy Stewart and Dale Ball trails. Property owners and their guests will continue to have access to private lands within the Forest. The Forest and Preserve will reopen to the public when sufficient precipitation is received to adequately reduce extremely dry conditions and reduce the risk of wildfire to a manageable level.
Extremely high fire danger and irratic fire behavior as indicated by the Las Conchas Fire has prompted the Carson National Forest to implement Stage 3 Fire Restrictions effective at 6:00 a.m., Thursday, June 30, 2011. Stage 3 fire restrictions mean that the forest is off limits to all activities, including fishing, hiking, biking,and horseback riding.

Besides the Rio Costilla Park, the RCCLA has also closed Latir Creek and Latir Lakes until further notice. Please contact the office for more information at 575-586-0542. Popular fishing spots such as the Rio Santa Barbara, the Rio del Pueblo, the Red River, Hopewell Lake, and Cabresto Lake are all under this closure.
New Mexico State Parks has closed Hyde Memorial, Fenton Lake, Morphy Lake, Coyote Creek, and Cimarron Canyon State Parks due to extreme fire danger until further notice.
Cochiti Lake is also closed. It is being used as a water source to fight the Las Conchas Fire and the campgrounds at the lake are being used to house the firefighters.
Currently, the BLM areas like Orilla Verde, Rio Grande Wild and Scenic Rivers, and Santa Cruz Lake are open and are in Stage 1 fire restrictions. Eagle's Nest Lake, Abiquiu Lake, El Vado Lake, Heron Lake, Navajo Lake, the San Juan River, and Jicarilla Nation Lakes are open.

The summer fishing season at Pecos National Historical Park begins June 23rd and extends until August 8th. To take part in our fishing program, you can make advanced reservations for the two beats available per day (six anglers total) by calling 505-757-7272, or if those spots are filled, show up at the Visitor Center on the day you'd like to fish to see if there are spaces available on the third beat, which 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.
The dates for the High Spring Peak Release out of Navajo Dam has been revised! The Bureau of Reclamation will begin to increase the release on Monday, June 6, 2011 at 1:00 AM, reaching 5,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) on Thursday, June 9th at approximately 3:00 PM. The release will stay at 5,000 cfs for seven days. On Wednesday, June 15th at approximately 7:00 AM, the release will begin to decrease, reaching 500 cfs on Friday, June 12th at approximately 10:00 PM, where it will remain until further notice. The release pattern, duration, and magnitude for the spring peak release follow the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program (SJRIP) Flow Recommendations for Endangered Fish. Adjustments may be made to the release if significant precipitation occurs during the scheduled release period. If you have any questions, or would like further information, please contact Ryan Christianson at 970-385-6590or e-mail him at rchristianson@usbr.gov. Fishing can be very good during the high release. Just be extra careful while wading and make sure to clean off any moss on you rig so the fish can see your flies.
The Spring Fishing progaram on the Valles Caldera National Preserve started Saturday May 21st. Jarrett and me and some good friends fished on Saturday. It was a little windy but the place is beautiful and the fish were willing. Well worth the price of admission. You can still apply for other dates in their program by visiting their website at http://vallescaldera
