Book Description

April 1, 1989 Coyote Books

New Mexico is an angler's delight. It has more than a thousand miles of fishable creeks, streams, and rivers and almost a quarter-million surface acres of lakes and reservoirs. This book is a complete guide to fishing in all of these waters.

Over two hundred public, private, and Indian reservation-fishing areas are covered. From the state's two best-known fishing areas--the San Juan river and Elephant Butte Reservoir--to all of the waters associated with the state's ten drainages, this book provides detailed information for each site on location, size, depth, shoreline description, fish species, suggested angling techniques, seasonal fishing reports, road access, camping and boating facilities, and handicapped accessibility.

This book is sure to become indispensable to two types of anglers: beginners, young and old, who want to take up the sport, and veterans--including newcomers to the state--who seek up-to-date information on all species of coldwater and warm water sport fish in New Mexico.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of where and how to fish New Mexico., June 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing in New Mexico (Coyote Books) (Paperback)
New Mexico has more opportunities than one would imagine for fishing a desert state. However, one typically needs a little help finding the water. Piper's book covers nearly every possible fishing lake, stream, and river in New Mexico with valuable tips on when and how to fish each body of water. Well-organized into the major river drainages, Piper also provides basic maps for each area. The writing is clear and helpful. The only drawback is that the book is now slightly old and some of the details are out of date (access points have closed, new lakes have appeared, etc.). Perhaps a new edition is in the works. The maps could also be a little better, presently they are somewhat cartoonish. Overall, however, this is the best guide to fishing New Mexico.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fishing New Mexico, February 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fishing in New Mexico (Coyote Books) (Paperback)
Going to a new place and want to get a line wet. Don't have time to contact a local guide or the funds to do so. This guide book lists all waters open to the public for fishing and other outdoor activities. So don't say you can't go fishing until you put a foot forward by owning this book. Fish On!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book from 1989, September 1, 2010
This review is from: Fishing in New Mexico (Coyote Books) (Paperback)
This was an excellent book when first released in 1989, very informative. It covers all of public fishing areas in the state, as well as the tribal pay fee spots.

It breaks the state into eleven sections, then details the fishing lakes, rivers, ponds and streams in each area. For each lake etc. the author gives solid advice on access, best spots, time of year and time of day, boat and shore fishing info, types of game fish, lure/fly/bait to use and much more invaluable information.

The appendix include warm water and cold water descriptions on game fish available in the state; The 1989 state fishing regulations; for historical interest the 1959 regulations; fisheries management and operations; the politics, funding and statues of the state game and fish department.

The book is definitely in need of an updated edition now some 20 years later, since some of the fishing locations like Eagle Nest have changed hands from private to public, there are changes in roads and highway designations and conditions, and some locations like Santa Clara are now closed to public fishing. There are changes to the tools of fishing since publishing that have made an impact on the sport/hobby in the region such as the hugely popular Pistol Pete lures and Power Bait.

There are several other books available that are specific only to fly fishing the state, or are specific to fishing a region of the state. But this is the only book since 1956 that focuses on the entire spectrum of fishing for the whole state. Taking into consideration the aging of the book, it is still the most complete book on fishing New Mexico you can find.
