NEED A REASON TO GET EXCITED ABOUT FISHING OVER THE UP-COMING JULY FOURTH? HERE IT IS. THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISH SAYS IT IS GOING TO BE STOCKING CATCHABLE FISH AT NUMEROUS POPULAR SPOTS, SUCH AS HERON AND EAGLE NEST LAKES, THE SAN JUAN RIVER AND THE RIO CHAMA BELOW EL VADO. IN FACT, DUE TO CURRENT FOREST CLOSURES, THE NUMBER FISH BEING RELEASED AT THOSE LOCATIONS WILL BE MUCH GREATER, LEADING TO SOME EXCELLENT FISHING.
REMEMBER, ANGLERS THE AGE OF 12 AND OVER NEED A FISHING LICENSE WHICH ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT OR AT MANY BUSINESSES SUCH AS BAIT AND TACKLE SHOPS AND SPORTING GOOD STORES.
