Trout Fishing New Mexico's Red River

Northern New Mexico is littered with places to catch trout. The New Mexico Game & Fish does a wonderful job stocking the region's lakes, rivers and creeks often with mostly rainbow trout. Meanwhile, Red River is planted by local groups and the state. It creates one of the better fisheries in the region and enables locals and tourists to catch quality trout only steps from restaurants, hotels and shopping. We walked the bank for two quick hours on a busy late spring day and armed with Pautzke's new Fire Balls, Fire Bait and Silver Label salmon eggs caught dozens of trout while filming this episode of Pautzke Outdoors.

New Mexico represent! Love trout fishing!!!

[@dawsongreen7955]

Great place

[@benjamintoddgray1762]

lots of fun, but you should consider pinching the barbs to reduce the tissue damage to the fish. And if you can, keep them from flipping and bouncing on the rocks. Love the content. Keep it up.

[@russellrutledge1663]

I love catching wild browns on dry flies on the upper river. Great, unique fishery.

[@lucasnez3584]

Love the videos!! I went to Red River on Thursday. I used the new Fire Balls and Fire Salmon Eggs (Silver Label). And I was catching left and right. I was fortunate to catch a 13 inch and 14 1/2 inch rainbow trout. The rest were about 8 to 10inches. 👍 Pautzke RULES!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

[@TeamPautzke]

[@lelandmartinezjr]

I love to watch NM episodes

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Nice video friend

[@johnfletcher1655]

I used to live in Red River. I've fished the river from the upper valley to the Rio Grande. The best fishing was west of town and not in the fawn lakes.

[@phillipmendoza593]

nice vid. What does the rig look like? Looks like a 24" leader (depending on depth)... but where in the rig are the split shots? ...10" from the hook? TIA

[@enrikaromo6891]

you guys should go to the twinning river by toes ski valley

[@TeamPautzke]

We've never heard of it. Can you use bait?

[@violetteserna9694]

I live in New Mexico I think Red River is good to teach your kids to catch good old rainbow trout

[@v.dargain1678]

Cutthroats are the trickiest . Your kid is a genuine angler if he pulls in one of them .

[@LetsGoLarson]

I go there every year

[@v.dargain1678]

Nice . In mid spring you might see a Bald Eagle or Osprey or two hanging out in the trees along the river trying to get a fish . It's cool .

[@enrikaromo6891]

yes u can use bait

[@Yungwhorechata]

I'm going to the Rio Grande in 2 weeks

[@christbabrudi3031]

You guys should make pautzkee bass stuff

[@TeamPautzke]

Good idea - other than Fire Dye it probably won't happen in the near future though.

[@BryanWilhelm99]

I live here so i know exactly where you caught those fish!

[@NeverEnough2423]

[@TeamPautzke]

We caught a few fresh planters that were nine inches.

[@icut4canelo400]

Can you eat them fishy’s

[@aaronVarchery]

Come on man! Loosen the drag and stop holding the fish so close to the camera! Yeah they’re big for the river fish but you guys hype the hell out of this, especially with the loose drag!

[@TeamPautzke]

Aaron, when we come back maybe you can show us how to catch larger fish? We can't wait. Do you guide?

[@rhonanpeden6689]

[@TeamPautzke]
