Pecos National Historical Park will offer summer fishing permits for the Pecos River within the park boundaries. The 2020 summer fishing season will begin June 11th and end August 3rd. Please note that summer fishing hours will be from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Pecos National Historical Park uses an online reservation system. Reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance via www.recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. A $15 per day fee must be paid online during the online reservation process. Please note that anglers are required to check in and acquire a special use permit at the park visitor center prior to fishing. For more information related to fishing, visit the park website https://www.nps.gov/peco/planyourvisit/fishing.htm.
Within the park, three miles of the Pecos River are divided into three sections or “beats.” This approach offers anglers roughly one mile on the Pecos River to fish with up to two other people for the day. Three beats (for up to nine anglers per day) are available on the reservation system.
