Lake Fishing
The dramatic geology of the Santa Fe National Forest offers a wide venue of lake fishing from backcountry headwater lakes to man-made lakes to kid's fishing ponds. With most natural lakes in the backcountry of the Pecos Wilderness, there are typically no facilities. Many lakes historically were not inhabited with fish but have been stocked over the last century with non-native cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout (just to name a few).
