Happy New Year!

There was limited stocking activity last week and most of the stocking activity was in Southern New Mexico. This area had a taste of winter. Temperatures may not be as warm as they normally would be for this time of year.

Small streams at higher elevations are starting to ice up. The Rio Pueblo, Santa Cruz River and Rio Costilla are already reporting icy conditions that prevent the measurement of streamflow. Lakes are starting to develop thin ice, but it will be a while before the ice is thick enough for safe ice fishing.
