The unrelenting heat wave that held a firm grip on New Mexico this past week continues to plague the state. There are encouraging signs that the high pressure dome will weaken later this month and the monsoonal moisture may finally find its way to New Mexico.

Until it does, fishing will be best early in the morning and late in the evening. Streamflows continue to drop and anglers are encouraged to let the trout rest in the middle of the day when the stress of the heat will make it difficult for them to survive being caught and released.
