Trout Fishing at the Shonto Ranch	To read my review of the Shonto Ranch click here
This year in January(2004), Jim and I went to the beautiful Shonto Ranch in west Texas. It is a very large ranch with 10 lakes and streams to fish. They stock trophy rainbow trout from November till May and bass year around. They have exotic wild game to hunt as well as so many white tail deer they are were every where you look. They have zebra, fallow deer, axis deer, turkeys, emu and reia. It was like being in Africa seeing all the wildlife. We saw antelope and black buck, oryx and springbok as well as Gazelle. We both caught lots of fish but Jim got 2 trout over 4 pounds. By far the best trip I have ever had and I will be going back soon. Mark	Click for more information on the Shonto Ranch.
