Driving down to Albuquerque last weekend, it was impossible not to notice just how green the landscape was. After 50 years in New Mexico, it was hard to remember when, if ever, it had been this way. Parts of the landscape were a shimmering emerald where last year they were a dusty brown.

Streamflows in Northern New Mexico remain very high and fishing is difficult in the major rivers. The streamflows in the smaller tributaries is high but appears to be dropping slightly. Some snow is forecast for later this week at very high elevations above 10,000 feet, so places like Hopewell Lake and the Canjilon Lakes will likely still be hard to reach and possibly still iced over. Streamflows are likely to stay high for at least another two weeks, but some of the smaller streams are offering good fishing now.

If you drive over the Rio Grande at Otowi Bridge on your way to or from work in Los Alamos, you’ve probably noticed how high the river is flowing. According to the United States Geological Survey streamflow here Tuesday is at 5,070 cubic-feet-per-second, which is very high for this time of year. Spring runoff is in full swing in Northern New Mexico and likely still weeks away from peaking.
