RED RIVER Originating high up on Wheeler Peak, the Red River makes its journey through the resort town of Red River and eventually to the Rio Grande. The Red River's most productive section is a true wild river cascading over boulders, plunging along steep canyon walls. 10-16 inch wild browns and cuttbows inhabit this river mixed with classic pocket water and deep runs. The rugged terrain of the Red River provides solitude for those anglers in good shape looking for an adventure. Numerous warm springs feed into the river helping to keep water temperatures in the 50ís throughout the fall, winter and spring. These warm springs also keep the abundant caddisfly and mayfly populations active, making for heart pounding dry fly fishing when most rivers are snowed in. Migrating fish from the Rio Grande often move up the Red River in the late fall and winter, in order to protect this wild fishery that has had a rough past, please use ethical practices when fishing the Red River. Striping streamers over spawning trout can place major stress and harm on these fish. We all must do our part to protect and preserve our fisheries.
