I live in Amarillo TX and have always stuck with fishing northern NM. Cimarron, Rio Hondo, and a few other small streams.

But since Covid, NM has become like a third world country. Still all masked up, acting goofy to outsiders, and even hostile.

What are recommendations for small to medium streams/rivers in southern Colorado that I might try? I’d like to find a new go-to place or two and just bypass NM from now on. Thank you!

Here is the best advice anybody could give you since Colorado fishes a lot like NM. Pick a star along a waterway and a dropbox tells about that area! Have fun and good luck!

Wow! Great info. Thank you!

the Conejos is popular with the stream purists....then you got the Truillio meadows park just north of Chama that is stocked if you like pond fishing

When I lived in Oklahoma I used to fish the headwaters of the Chama. Also the tributaries of the Conejos, especially if you don't 'mind hiking to get away from the peeps.
