The low water levels prompted New Mexico Game & Fish to stock fewer fish on the Pecos River and take the remaining fish elsewhere. Some of the trout that would normally be stocked in northern New Mexico waterways were instead taken to the San Juan River and Heron, Storrie, Eagle Nest and El Vado lakes.
