Yearout Ranch, Chama, New Mexico The existing lakes on this private ranch underwent major renovations including contouring of interior lake slopes to produce optimum fish feeding areas and angler wading areas. Each of the three lakes was stocked with different trout species, including rainbow trout, Yellowstone and Snake River cutthroat trout, brook trout, and brown trout. Two small ponds were constructed on either side of the road leading to the main residence. These lined ponds were stocked with smaller rainbow trout and provide excellent fishing opportunities for both children and beginning fly-fisherman. The jewel of the project is a newly constructed trout stream that connects the North Lake to the House Lake. The stream was created to look and perform like a natural mountain stream. The stream edges were lined with natural rock, boulders, logs, emergent vegetation and wetland sod. Fish habitat was placed throughout the stream, as well as spawning substrate at the head of the stream. The stream was stocked with large rainbow trout upon completion. |
