Fishing near Lajitas, TX
Lajitas sits in Brewster County in the remote Trans-Pecos desert of far west Texas, hard against the Rio Grande along the border with Mexico. The river is the defining water here, flowing through the rugged canyon country between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Catfish — blue, channel, and flathead — are the main quarry anglers pursue from the Rio Grande's banks in this stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert.
