After You Book Your Trip

With the exception of the Bar X Bar Ranch, you must have a fishing license to fish at any of the locations where we go. We recommend that you buy your fishing license online, through one of the links below. You
can then print out a copy or, if you get you license with your mobile phone, you can just save it on the phone directly. If you prefer, you can buy your license "over the counter" at many locations in the area. Depending on which waters you are going to be fishing on your trip, it may be possible to buy a license on the way to the river. Make sure to let your guide know if
you were unable to buy your fishing license before the day of your trip.

New Mexico Fishing Licenses:

If you are fishing in New Mexico, you will need a valid State of New Mexico fishing license for the day/days you have booked your trip. You can get your license online, at the link below:

NM Dept. of Game & Fish Online Licensing System

New Mexico fishing licenses also are available for purchase by phone. You can call toll-free at (888) 248-6866, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Note: You will need to have both the Habitat Stamp and the Habitat Management and Access Validation for your New Mexico fishing license. Children under 12 years old do not need a fishing license of any kind in New Mexico.

Colorado Fishing Licenses:

If you are going on a fishing trip in Colorado (i.e. on the Abeyta Ranch or the MK Ranch), you will need a valid State of Colorado fishing license for the day/days you have booked a trip. You can get a Colorado fishing license online, by clicking on the link below:

Colorado Division of Wildlife Licensing System

Colorado fishing licenses also are available for purchase by phone. You can call toll-free at (800) 244-5613, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Note: If you are ordering your Colorado fishing license online less than 14 days from the day of your fishing trip, you must print out your receipt or save it to your phone as proof of purchase and bring it with you, in lieu of the license (which will be mailed to you). Children under 16 years old do not need a fishing license of any kind in Colorado.

Tip/Gratuity For Your Guide:

If you have a good day and your guide met your expectations, it is the standard custom to take care of them with a tip. They will really appreciate it! (see question 3 on the FAQ's page for more details).

What To Discuss With Your Guide:

At the beginning of your trip, there are a few things you should make sure your guide knows about. The better informed your guide is - the better your day will be. You should let your guide know what your experience and fitness levels are and if you have any special requests. This will enable your guide to better tailor your trip to be a perfect fit for you.

What To Bring With You:

There are a few personal items which we strongly recommend you consider bringing on
your fishing trip. They are important and will make your day much more enjoyable. Check with your guide for current weather conditions and appropriate dress for trip. Below is a checklist of some items for you to think about bringing with you:

•  Fishing license
•  Polarized sunglasses
•  Sunscreen
•  Rain jacket
•  Sweatshirt
•  Extra socks
•  Hat/Visor
•  Camera
•  Small Backpack
