How to Apply
To take part in our fishing program, you must
enter a lottery conducted by the Valles Caldera Trust. The Trust holds three lotteries; one per season (spring, summer and fall). Lottery tickets are $5.00 each and may be purchased for any available fishing
date. You may purchase as many tickets as you wish.
** We have added morning and evening fishing this year, so be sure to check the start and end times of the day you are interested in.
