Pecos, NM: Pecos National Historical Park will offer summer fishing permits for the Pecos River within the park boundaries. The 2024 summer fishing season will begin June 6th and end July 29th. Please note that summer fishing hours will be from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 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. A $15 per day fee, per person, must be paid online during the online reservation process. Please note that anglers are required to check in at the park visitor center prior to fishing.

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.
