The past season on The Rio Grande river has been classified as a normal good year. Any way the impressive records demonstrate how easily perspective is lost down here:
There were 3,029 sea trout landed, weighed and measured at the two lodges
The largest fish of the season was a magnificent 28.5 lb - 12.90 kilo male
Anglers landed an average of 17.42 fish during their visits, almost 3 per day
Fish averaged 8.95 pound
484 trout were over 15 pound and 110 tipped the scales at over 20 pound
Anglers Bob Mead and Bill Klesser set a new benchmark by landing 31 fish in one morning in mid-February
