Flooding Red River hits hatchery fish losses
Heavy rains and snowmelt sent Red River rising, flooding the Red River Fish Hatchery below Questa. About 20 percent of hatchery fish suffocated in muddy water and several water lines were washed out. Department officials evacuated roughly 260,000 trout to lakes across the state, reducing future stocking. Poaching reports rose as some tried to profit from the forced evacuation, prompting increased patrols.

Operation Game Thief marks two years in New Mexico
Two years into Operation Game Thief in New Mexico, the program relies on citizen tips to enforce game laws. Since starting June 1, 1977, donors have contributed about $30,000 for rewards and enforcement, with $17,000 paid, $3,100 to be claimed, and roughly $12,000 in the fund as many callers decline payments. The effort has yielded 221 citations and arrests involving 187 individuals.
