The Reel Life provides professional guide services on hundreds of miles of public water and on several private fisheries to which we hold exclusive fishing rights.
Whether you want to fish a small mountain creek or lake, a larger stream for larger fish, or simply a private stretch of water without competition from other anglers,
The Reel Life will deliver the angling experience you most desire.
The goal of The Reel Life's guiding program is for our clients to come away from their trips as improved anglers. Our talented guides possess an intimate knowledge
of every watershed in Northern New Mexico. They know the seasons and the hatches. They know where the big fish live and the techniques required to catch them. Plus, all
guides are hired based on their ability to teach, to clearly impart their knowledge in a personable and low-pressure fashion to novices and experts alike. Each of our
guides is first aid and CPR certified.
Clients will need a valid New Mexico state fishing license and some personal items for their own comfort. We recommend breathable, non-cotton clothing (including socks)
for maximum comfort in our often unpredictable climate. Raingear, sunscreen, a long-sleeved fishing shirt and polarized sunglasses will go a long way towards making your
guided trip a comfortable one.
