I don't know what's going on here?I I walked in after knocking on the window and walking around the building at 9:35 on 7/23/2026 to find an angry owner who said he was on the Toilet!!! the he opened the door, I apologized for the awkward situation and proceeded to tell him I wanted to go fish the Pecos river and got the response of I should have (F word )been there 2 hours ago! WOW! I told him while I was taken aback at his demeanor that I needed to rent some boots because I misplaced mine since I haven't been out to the river for a bit because of a heavy work schedule, his reply was I don't rent! only to glued trip guests! This guys Tone I found out later to be the owner Jarrett is out of bounds when talking to clients!! This man is straight RUDE AS HECK! and seems to be in some type of grumpy state of mind that makes one unable to communicate in a viable manner to do business,How in the world does this store stay open with a jerk owner like this chasing clients away?? I see these reviews on Yelp and seem to wonder....were they paid for? I WARN EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! He is aggressive in tone and disgusting to try to do business with! why would I give money to a business that treats you so bad? I ended up leaving and went to The REEL LIFE at devagas mall and spent my 250.00 on gear there and was treated like a king. I also heard fro them that they get a lot of complaints about High Desert angler there and how rude they are treated. Thank you so much for a great day on the river thanks to The REEL LIFE at devagas mall and I will never ever set foot in High desert angler again! STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU FEEL LIKE BEING TREATED BADLY. F WORD was used by him 5 times to a customer who just wanted to do business in one visit before I left.

Had a phenomenal day fishing outside of Pecos with Marcos, a master guide. He’s a great teacher with a lot of patience and experience. Definitely want to fish with him again. Gr

On a mission to get a hat because we had a short stay in Santa Fe, conditions were not great for fishing, and I wanted to see what the shop was like for the next trip. Nice selection and good vibe!

Pecos experience of a lifetime! Chuck was the perfect guide for myself, my daughter and my son-in-law. Beautiful scenery and beautiful rainbows and browns! Because of the fire restrictions, we were limited to a half day, and private land access only. Could not imagine a better time. Thank you, High Desert Angler, and thank you Chuck, for your guidance!

Ryan Mann was very knowledgeable snd patient with the two of us who were beginners, while his partner Marcus took the two more experienced fishers. Ryan took us to beautiful private property - well worth the $60 per person. Ryan had good equipment and was very attentive. We will definitely call him again on our return trip to Santa Fe.
