Boquet River

Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Boquet River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.
