Weekly Fishing Report: June 1, 2021
Los Alamos Daily Post
One of the results of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be an increase in the fishing pressure, especially on our trout streams and lakes. It appears that this is not just limited to New Mexico, but is happening nationwide. The pressure on our fishing resources has increased dramatically.
Our State Game and Fish Department stocks thousands of trout every week to try to satisfy the demand. There are limits to how much stocking thousands of hatchery fish can do. For a lot of anglers, catching their limit of five fish-fish –per-day is the goal. Stringers of freshly-stocked rainbow trout are commonly pictured on several of the Facebook websites dedicated to trout fishing in New Mexico.
