My wife and I (and dog, Belle) have visited the Rio Costilla area in far northern New Mexico the last three years for a wonderful, serene 4-day getaway. This river happens to be the home of wild, native Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout (our state fish). This year I landed my first RGCT. I used my trusty TenkaraBum 36, 2.5 level line and an ant pattern. Here's some braggin' pics....

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
Warning:
The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Beware of the Dogma
