Friends,

 

What with one thing and another, I wasn’t able to get out camping this summer. I did manage a few short trips this fall, but hadn’t had the time to process the images and write them up, as of yet.

 

I have now published the first of these - a very short trip up to northern New Mexico to visit the Rio Chama Wild & Scenic River. The new adventure posted on Bosque Bill's Backroads travel & camping blog:

Thanks Bill for taking the time to post your great report.

Our only experience with the Chama River was at the rail yard

in Chama when we took the train trip back in 1981.

I don't know. Looks like there should be fish. I've been there twice and not seen anyone fishing - though that's not definitive. The river carries a fair amount of sediment - in August it was muddy looking; in October it was more a milky blue-gray - FWIW.

Looks like you should have :)

 

An excellent fishing stream that consistently produces trophy size brown trout. Access at El Vado lake and near Ghost Ranch.  Section from El Vado Reservoir has been designated as a wild and scenic river. Fish species include brown trout, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. A 34 mile stretch of river. Best trout fishing is within several miles of El Vado Dam.
