The flow of the Red River is largely dependent on snowmelt from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The river is also impacted by the diversion of water for irrigation and municipal use. There are several dams along the river, including the Red River Fish Hatchery Dam. Seasonally, the flow of the river is highest in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, and lowest in the fall and winter. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Red River is that it is known for its excellent trout fishing, with rainbow and brown trout being common catches.
