Happy New Year!
Overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 elections this past year, there is an ongoing situation that will have a direct effect on the fishing opportunities for the coming year.
New Mexico is in the grip of a severe, ongoing drought that is affecting the entire state. A large portion of New Mexico from north to south is suffering from exceptional drought conditions.
Streamflows this past year were exceptionally low. The upper Rio Grande was little more than a mountain stream with flows of only about 30 cubic-feet-per

Happy New Year.
This will be the final fishing report of 2020 – a year unlike any other for a variety of reasons.
Of course, the gorilla in the room was the COVID-19 pandemic. It led to the closure of New Mexico’s State Parks, including many of the most popular fishing destinations in the state.
Just how much New Mexicans value their fishing and other outdoor activities became quickly apparent. With sporting events and games canceled or restricted to having no fans, people flocked to the outdoors for their recreation.

Merry Christmas!
New Mexico’s State Parks remain open for day use to New Mexico residents only.
Lakes in Northern New Mexico are starting to freeze-up, but in most cases the ice is not yet thick enough to allow ice fishing. Now is a good time to plan a trip to Southern New Mexico. The weather is usually warmer. State parks are a little less-crowded, as are National Parks and Monuments.
The state Game and Fish Department stocks many of the small municipal lakes and ponds with catchable-size rainbow trout between 9-12 inches long during the winter.
