| | "Rio Grande, Colorado, New Mexico - Great Rivers - Angler's OnLine" |
 | | It is a demanding river, rugged and wild, holding challenging trout that, if you can find them, will chomp your fly, bust the surface with a colossal jump, startle you with the speed with which they swim upstream, then shred your leader on a submerged rock and be gone. |
 | | The second-longest river in the United States, flowing 1,885 miles from headwaters to the sea, is a river of mystery, virtually unknown to the world outside its drainage. |
 | | As the geography of New Mexico and Texas was gradually sorted out, the river became known as the Rio del Norte, the River of the North, and the Rio Bravo, Bold River. |
