New Mexico’s truly outstanding fishing holes are better accessed from Taos and the Enchanted Circle, but there are plenty of opportunities around Santa Fe, including Abiquiú, Nambé Lakes and Rio Chama. You’ll need a license – available at tack shops like the High Desert Angler, which also sells a large selection of gear and offers guided excursions to private streams (one/two people from $275/350). A one-day, state-required license is $22.
