    Conejos River Anglers

    They know nothing about June in the upper reaches of the Conejos and creeks around Platoro.. Bugs…read moreare too big. The carry nothing under #20's. Wasted $100 and a day of fishing until we figured it out. San Juan tactics, Walked into the store. I was the only customer. 3 kids(?) were telling fish stories and ignored me for 10 minutes or so until I asked a question... They have the flies for the lower river. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and just disrespectful. No reason to darken their door again. Update: My buddy talked to the owner. He laughed and said "Oh well." We will never darken their door again. He's just a sales guy who knows nothing about his products. Cost us at least a day of fishing. We are a group of retired men fishing around the country. We spend a month or so at each location.. We will never be back. The arrogance is and continues to be stunning. The last review is from 6 years ago. Under new management? AVOID.

    Pat the owner was very helpful and called us prior to our trip with details to help us have the…read morebest day trip possible. Pat fitted me with all the gear I needed to fish in below 32 degrees water. Tom the guide was very patient and knowledgeable. He took me up 8 miles to fish in the mountains as well as many other places to fish, that as new fisher and not aquatinted with the local area, I would never had known about. Tom taught me how to cast and walk in waders and by the end of the day I was able to drop my fly is spots Tom told me to drop it. I even got three hits on my line. I'm ready now to go back and my wife will be joining us.

    Rio Grande Del Norte is vast-there are many different areas to explore and various corners of this…read morenational monument that range from moderately trafficked to fairly remote. Taos.org has a great summary page of the different areas. https://taos.org/explore/landmarks/rio-grande-del-norte-national-monument/ I had done some further research after this overview and opted to visit the Wild Rivers area in the morning and the Rio Grande Gorge area later in the day after lunch back in Taos. Wild Rivers is about 50 minutes from Taos but a scenic drive. Once you are in the public lands, the scenery gets more and more amazing. In the Wild Rivers area, there's a visitor center (currently only open on weekends), a scenic byway with overlooks, campgrounds and hiking trails that take you down to the river. I opted to do the trail to Big Arsenic Springs. The byway was very well signed and there's day use parking that does have a self paid fee. Since it's a BLM administered park (federal) you can instead display your America the Beautiful National Parks pass. Amazing scenery of the river and surrounding canyons along the petroglyphs towards the end of the Big Arsenic trail. The hike I opted for was short (2.5 miles but with an 800 ft elevation gain on the way back up from the river.) The park does an amazing job maintaining the trails and the well graded switchbacks made it a pleasant hike. On the drive out, after my hike, I stopped at other scenic view points. Later in the day, I visited another section of the park, closer to Taos where you can walk across and take in vistas of the Rio Grande Gorge bridge. If you're visiting Taos and love the outdoors, a visit to this park is a must. It's quieter than your typical national parks with fewer amenities but still an awe inspiring outdoor adventure (without the crowds!)

    We took an hour walk on the West Rim Trail that's part of Rio Grande del Norte National Monument…read morewhile visiting the Rio Grande bridge in late May 2023. The trail starts right at the parking lot and it's beautiful. Gorgeous views of the river too. Many bunnies that day.
