See full state regulationsThe Red River flowing through the town of Red River and downstream offers excellent public access to a productive stocked trout fishery in a scenic high-country setting. The river is regularly stocked with rainbow trout and provides easy wade fishing access for anglers of all skill levels. Downstream sections near the confluence with the Rio Grande offer more challenging wild trout fishing in a remote canyon setting.
