Inspiration: The Rio Chama originates in southern Colorado, and flows south into New Mexico where it eventually meets up with the Rio Grande. As it winds its way southward, the waterway is home to many seasonal migrating birds, including hawks, bald eagles, ducks and snow geese. The waters also contain multiple species of trout, which lure fly fisherman to the area. The river itself is interspersed with small islands that rise above the surface of the water, providing landing spots for birds, and havens for trout from the fast-running water during spring run-off season.
