Rio Santa Barbara Video

Hello everyone,

I made it out to the Rio Santa Barbara this past weekend and decided to roll the dice with the weather. Turned out to be one of those classic New Mexico days lightning cracking all around, but the rain only came in short bursts, just long enough to make me think I might have to sprint back to the truck.

I kept this video to about three minutes. I wanted to give you a feel for the area without turning it into a full 30-minute deep dive and spoiling some of the hidden gems the scenery has to offer. Feel free to check out the YouTube video fair warning, it was a bit of a slow day. I did include my favorite catch, and I also lost what I’m pretty sure was a Rio Grande cutthroat trout.
