TROUT TOWNS EP. 6 - Santa Fe, NM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2023
- Located in North Central New Mexico at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe is a bucketlist location for fans of history, architecture, art, food, and yes - even trout fishing. On this episode of Trout Towns, we first tackle a wilderness section of the Pecos River, fly fishing for wild browns and stocked bows at high elevation. Next, we’ll be scrambling into and out of box canyons just outside of the Valles Caldera National Preserve to prove that the size of the stream does not indicate the quality of the fishery. While in town, we’ll highlight some of Santa Fe’s rich historical past - starting out as a Spanish Colony, then transitioning to a Mexican territory, and finally a U.S. state. Sante Fe is bristling with history around every corner. Known for its Adobe, Spanish, and Territorial Style architecture, Santa Fe is a genuinely unique cityscape worthy of the good ole' American walking tour. Please join me today as we fish, explore, and embrace our very next Trout Town in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

Santa Fe native here. Thank you for this great video, loved the accurate history lesson in the beginning. The only thing I would add is that the politicos at the time refused the railroad into Santa Fe, which was the result of the population dwindling to less than 5,000 people. Realizing their mistake, they reached out to the other railroad company who agreed to lay the railroad into Santa Fe and created the depot. However, it was in/out and not pass through.
Tomasitas, Pantry, Pasquals, ...are some good restaurants in town.
Awesome video man, I just stumbled on your channel today and I love the concept. Will definitely binge watch some more. Also love your “let’s get him out of here!” It reminds me of a baseball call or something like that haha.
I love your videos, thank you for sharing
Thanks, appreciate it!
Y'all gotta eat at Maria's New Mexican Kitchen if you ever make it to Santa Fe
Thanks for mentioning the importance of wetting your hands before handling fish.
Beautiful trout and scenery. Great video.
Dude nice surprise drop and quick turnaround. I love don diego devargas too
One of the best, one of the best...

That wasn’t a stocked rainbow they only stock up to the bridge at Cowles anything above that is wild!
FYI all the rainbows are stockers. Private property owners stock their own runs with healthier/prettier fish than the state does. You caught a small “got-away”.
As a southern CO resident thanks for heading out west. Highly recommend hitting the Arkansas River from as far west as Leadville,CO to as far east as Pueblo/Pueblo West, CO.
Can't wait to get back to Northern New Mexico or Southern Colorado. Both beautiful places and lots of trout fishing locations. I have my eye on Ouray, Silverton, and Durango as a few Southern CO Trout Towns episodes sometime in the next few years. Thanks for watching!
Sweet !!! Where I live we have the best winter fishery tailwater on the Arkansas. Most areas freeze up in the winter but we stay flowing. It will be chilly, and snowy, but waters moving. @@TravelingTroutCo
Thanks for specifying that you took French. Kept me from getting mad about the pronunciation of places. To be fair, even some of the Spanish named towns have their own unique pronunciation. Great incorporation of history.
Hey man, great video. Do you know the the name of the trail you were on that was leading to the Pecos where you were fishing? We fished Taos in Santa Fe two years ago and almost got skunked. I caught one the day we got there and my brother caught one the last day we were there. Trying to find a couple new spots. We will be there in September.
I parked at the Cave Creek trailhead (above Cowles). There's a horse trail that takes you over Pancheula Creek and Jacks Creek and eventually down to Pecos above the last of the private property. Good luck man!
Nice video! They do stock Rainbow Trout but are working on getting the native cutthroat population restored. Obviously browns and rainbow trout aren’t the native species. If you are ever back in NM you might look into doing the trout challenge.
I was really hoping to catch a Cuthroat, maybe next time. And I'll look into the trout challenge too, thanks!
Great video! What is the name of that beautiful rock box canyon?
I believe I worked upstream through the 'Jemez East River Slot Canyon' just outside of Valles Caldera (off Route 4).
what month of the yr?
August. Funny story. On the way out, we were hit with a crazy snow/hail storm for an hour at high elevation leaving the Caldera. In August. In New Mexico. Anyways, really unique place super surreal.
@@TravelingTroutCo me and some buddies once had a snowball fight in New Mexico in July while hiking a mountain. Pretty neat experience for a couple of pa boys
Valles is pronounced "vayes"
