This past week, one of my roommates ('27 AGBU) and I ('26 AGEC) graduated and immediately took off to go on a fishing trip through New Mexico and Colorado. We got in touch with LRHF to book a couple days on the river and get some campsite recs for the area.
Our first day fishing with LRHF was unbelievable for both numbers and size of fish. We had a designed late start and immediately got on the fish, between the two of us we had somewhere between 30 and 40 trout before we stopped for lunch. We had a nice mix of natural browns and large rainbows with most of the fish being somewhere between 15"-19" with a handful coming in between 20"-22". We kept catching fish all afternoon and capped the day off with an evening dry fly session and another 6-8 fish. By the time it was too dark for us to stay on the river, we had netted somewhere around 60 fish, not a bad first day ever fly fishing on a river.
The second day we went out with LRHF was just as special, we had another mixed bag of roughly 40 browns and rainbows. The highlight of the day was when LRHF got me hooked up on a beautiful 26" rainbow. Both days LRHF give us the Aggie network hookup by staying out longer than normal up let us experience a great dry fly session in the evenings.
After a few days of world class fishing in New Mexico we wanted a change of scenery and headed for the mountains north of Pagosa Springs to camp for a couple more days. We spent the next couple of days at Williams creek catching a mix of rainbows, browns, and cutthroat trout and enjoying the cool air before heading back to Texas.
This trip was a success mainly due to LRHF putting us on fish and setting us up for success on the water, if you are thinking of doing a trip like this I would highly recommend a trip with LRHF to get put on some great fish.
