Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting Logan, New Mexico, should head straight to Ute Lake. This large reservoir is known for its healthy crappie population, offering both black and white crappie. Spring is the prime time, particularly during the spawn (April-May), when crappie move into shallow water to nest. Look for them around submerged brush, standing timber, and rocky structures in coves and creek arms. A local tip is to use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber. The crappie in Ute Lake can be finicky, so experiment with different colors and depths until you find what they're biting on. Another tip: Ute Lake can experience fluctuating water levels, which can impact crappie location, so adapt your strategy accordingly. Also, be aware of any specific regulations regarding crappie size and creel limits on Ute Lake.
