Freeze Your Trout Off

The Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited is excited to be hosting its first annual “Freeze Your Trout Off” Fish outing on November 22, 2025 at the picnic grounds located on Rio Chama below Abiquiu Dam and we would love for you to Join us.

What is Exactly is the “Freeze Your Trout Off” fish outing?

It is a day of relaxed fishing and commendatory for all our members, their friends, and anyone else who would like to show up. We invite everyone to come out and fish their favorite spots on the Chama, then about 11:00 we are all going to meet up for a potluck lunch at the picnic area about 1 mile below Abiquiu Dam. We have a couple members that have volunteered to whip up a pot of Chili, a couple that are bringing the deserts and there might even be some hot coffee to warm you up as well. Who knows what will be on the menu. Bring your drinks and favorite dish and come join us for some great food, fun, and whopper fish stories.

Fishing is on your own schedule, so if you want to start fishing early then come to lunch, or if you wanna drag out of bed late, join us for lunch and fish the afternoon you can. Heck, fishing is not required, so if you prefer, just come hang out and join us for lunch, you are more than welcome.

If you are the adventurous type and only use your GPS, the picnic area is located at 36.238516, -106.417451
