Weekly Fishing Report: Nov. 2, 2025

Los Alamos Daily Post 

The stocking of rainbow trout by the State Game and Fish Department has shifted its emphasis to Southern New Mexico. Lakes and ponds too warm in the summer to support trout are being stocked now because of cooler weather. 

Streamflow on the Rio Grande increased over the last week. Streamflows today were 497 cubic-feet-per-second at Taos Junction and 557at Embudo. The streamflow at Cerro near the Colorado border was 380 cubic feet per second. All of these are above normal and should be good for trout, allowing any stocked trout not yet caught Read More

Petrified wood was plentiful in the area and widely used in buildings in the area. After the prohibition era ended, the business but the shell of Read More

Fr. Glenn: Saints…and Sinners

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Happy November everyone! Hard to believe we’re nearing the end of 2025 already. Ah, precious time. It’s like the words of that country song about the centenarian: “Don’t blink…A hundred years goes faster than you think.”

Yep, the time goes fast, and before you know it, we all inevitably look at the end of earthly life. Society tends to look at that end as tragic, but we Christians … not so much.

As St. Paul so famously Read More
