The water
Rio Grande (Cerro — Taos Box) is a freestone river in New Mexico, fished for trout, pike, smallmouth bass — brown, rainbow, cutthroat. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
