Lodge & Ranch At Chama — Hotel in Chama

I flew into Santa Fe where I rented a car and drove two and a half hours to the Lodge. Upon arriving I met the guides and was served dinner in their spacious dinneroom seperated from the lounge by an enormous fireplace The lodge was gorgeous with accomodations for abt 20 people. ||||We were there at the beginning of the turkey season with several other groups of people there. Each day we rose at 4:00 A.M. for breakfast before venturing out the game parks; each was ten square miles. The guides build a blind and enticed the turkey using calls. In addition to the turkey, we saw numerous buffalo, heards of elk, and bear. The guides were extremely knowledgable about the park and each one a skilled turkey hunter. The accomodations and food were 5 star. We were there for turkey but I can't wait to return in the Fall for the elk hunt. ||||I do wish they had servered game one night for dinner.||||All in all, it was well worth traveling from the east cost and I would recommend it to anyone looking to...

We relocated back east over our anniversary...so no anniversary catching 20 in rainbows on terrestrials at 10,000 ft this year...miss the guides, the place, the chef, the whole crew. Miss the drive up in the morning sighting elk and bear. Miss the target practice with flies to rising big fish. Seriously, they called us this year because they knew we had not reserved our usual weekend....wish we could have. Have fly fished in over 30 states, lots of differerent countries, lots of species. If you want to practice landing the fish of a lifetime...so that when you get that single shot someplace else at a big trout you will know the drill..this is the place. Then come back, shower up, have a scotch and a steak dinner in an amazingly beautiful...
