Pecos River Fishing trip video
 

Its taken me a while to have time to get this video finished. But back in April, me and a couple buddies took on the 61 mile trip down the Pecos River. We took 6 days camping out on the river each night. It was much tougher than the Devils River 39 mile trip we did last year. Fishing was good, but no smallmouth. Here is the link to the video I made. Watch till the end, all the fishing is in the second half of the video. I will post some pics up as well. The place is pure beauty!

Sweet lil trip you guys made.

and some mo

Man you take some badass trips!

thanks guys. It was an awesome trip. It kicked our butts though. The last day we paddled 16 miles. We were whipped when we hit the pickup point

how did it compare to the Devils river?

awesome trip

cool stuff mike

it was more beautiful and more remote. It was a tougher trip due to distance 61 miles compared to 39. The fishing was about the same except there were no smallmouth. I think I prefer the Pecos, but the way those smallmouth fight almost changes my mind

So bad ***. Did yall run out of beer?

We didnt even try to bring beer. We tried to keep our weight down as much as possible. I brought rum and moonshine, but ran a little short towards the end

Good thinking. Lol were u able to charge your go pros or just bring extra batteries?

Awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing!

I brought a couple battery banks, they will charge your go pro like 10-15 times each. I had plenty of battery life. I tend to be over prepared

Well that's awesome man. Did you feel like u had enough time to fish or was it more of keeping a good traveling pace to make it to the finish?

Bucket list trip for sure. Amazing scenery!

We did the Devils last year and we kinda learned how and where to fish a river like this. So you skip alot of stuff that looks unproductive. We planned on fishing a good bit each day and worked that into our mileage/day plan. But I could have used an extra 2 days, there is so much good fishing its hard to fish it all thoroughly

Nice man. Very jealous. Some toads too! Any broken rods from the rapids? Looked kinda sketchy lol

I didnt break any this year. Had one guy lose a custom rod and a nice revo. Last year on the Devils I broke 2 Falcon bucoos and lost a gopro. I was more prepared this past trip

In a remote area - rapids - lotsa rocks - no headgear? - Hmmm dunno bout that. Other than that-looked like a fun trip.

the rapids are very mild. one guy brought a helmet bc he was scared, but never put it back on after the first rapid.

Sweet Trip
 

What was the CFS when yall went?

Yall defiantly scaled down your gear to the bare essentials.

Did yall see many other boaters?

I told my wife about this trip and she was somewhat interested until I told her we would have to purify drinking H20 for 6 days.

I dont remember exactly, there is a good bit of dragging for a couple miles when you hit the "flutes". its a good workout. The water for the first 2-3days was pretty bad, even when purified. Next time i will try and pack enough for the first couple days.
We saw maybe 2 other groups the whole trip

Where did you guys put in/take out at? Did yall use a shuttle service?

Awesome trip. Great job! Looks like it would be one hell of a trip to make...
