Expect the Unexpected ...

Unexpected
... some of the best things in life
are unexpected. Do you expect to find a prime, spring-fed
trout stream in the semi-arid foothills of southeastern New Mexico? Do you
expect to drive only 2 hours from El Paso or Las Cruces and find a trout stream whose chilly waters do not
exceed 59 degrees in the summer yet never freeze in the winter? Do you
expect to find a spring creek that yields wild Rainbows and Browns in excess
of 5 pounds within a 4-hour drive of Midland, Lubbock, Albuquerque, or
Santa Fe?
You don't! But here's your chance to experience
the unexpected! |
 
Mulcock Ranch, located 15
miles east of Mayhill, New Mexico on US 82, with an elevation of 5700 feet is a
fisherman's paradise.
Fishermen can enjoy summer temperatures that rarely exceed 85 degrees and sunny,
winter days that reach 65 degrees. This spring-fed stretch of the Penasco River
meanders through the ranch for more than 5 miles
ranging from still, deep pools to magnificent 40' waterfalls. Hatches of baetis, tricos, and mayflies are plentiful year round
with caddis hatches
normally occuring in the evenings. Both dry flies and nymphs yield wild Browns
and Rainbows to anglers of all skill levels. The thought of wild trout
in a clear mountain spring creek whets the appetite of all fly fishermen.
We are proud to announce the
formation of the Penasco Spring River Flyfishing Club. This is a limited
access, catch and release, quality water fishery allowing only artificial
flies with a single, barbless hook. Each member will be allowed to keep
1 fish over 22" per year. By limiting memberships, the fishing pressure
of recent years will be greatly reduced.

The cabin has been remodeled and enlarged and
is available for overnight lodging at nominal rates. For more information about the river and fishing, check out the link below:
