Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout Stocking Event
May 17 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Thank you for your interest in the 2024 Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout Stocking Event at the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument (1120 NM-378, Questa, NM 87556). The event will be held on May 17th and start at 10:00 am at the Wild Rivers Visitor Center. Please fill out this survey and reach out to John Smith ([email protected]) if you have any questions.
Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout will be stocked into the Rio Grande at four points along the Rio Grande Gorge. The hiking trails will be strenuous with sections of rocky and steep terrain. We will be stocking fish by packing 2 – 4 gallons of water with trout in a sturdy bag. Plan for 3 – 5 hours for the hike down, stocking, and hike out. Please bring good hiking boots, a good day pack or frame pack for each individual, weather appropriate clothing (hat, warm layers), sunscreen, drinking water, and lunch. We will provide bags, water, and fish for stocking.
Note: Those attending the stocking event at the Rio Grande Gorge should meet at the Wild Rivers Visitor Center for a safety briefing at 10:00 am.
