The writers of Western novels, along with Hollywood filmmakers, have painted a lasting but false impression of the river called the Rio Grande. The Spanish words meaning "big river" conjure up an image of dusty weather-beaten cowboys crossing a desert plain to a muddy sheet of water.
Last fall, Field & Stream Online Editor Nate Matthews and his father, Bruce, spent 15 days fishing the Rio Grande River from its headwaters in Colorado to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico. These excerpts from their journals tell the story of their 2500-mile motorcycle ride along the historic river. Photographer Tim Romano documented the excursion.
