Amistad is beautiful but if you really want to see it's beauty go up the Rio Grande and into the Pecos River about 7 miles. with it's crystal clear water and huge boulders in the middle of the river, sheer cliffs and not to mention all the ancient pictographs but most importantly the excellent fishing. Too bad it's been so low for the past few years you can't even launch at the Pecos high bridge ramp.
