Anyone been to Taos NM? Need Fishing Advice

[Wmass]

I will be spending a week in Taos over the holidays and I may have a chance to get some fly fishing in. Does anyone have any advice on where to go and what to use this time of year? Anyone ever been to that area?

I fished in the Rio Grande in Las Cruces. The only thing that I can surely tell you is that I didnt know what I was doing. I was trying to catch some unknown to me black fish that kept rising but not biting. And I know that the state fish police are vigilant, so buy a temp pass and follow rules.
They told me I should be fishing in the culverts. I thought I was too cool to ask what a culvert was and realized later I wasnt cool enough, because I still dont know what a culvert is.
I was souther than Taos, (but spent a night there) so I had a lot of mexicans with tattoos on their necks, and other extremities, watching the crazy gringo throw a fly in the chocolate river
Like the lisence plate says,"The Land Of Enchantment" is true though. Check out White Sands when not fishing if you have time. Its like nothing you've ever seen.

From what I understand...if you go to Taos you take your skis. But I did find this... http://taosflyshop.com/taylor_streit.php Call and ask.

Don't know about the fishing but the skiing is great. If you are on the slopes and see a tree with a red bow tied on it stop. The locals place a jug o booze under the tree.

Drive over to Farmington and fish the San Juan River.
