Largemouth Bass
While Clovis isn't surrounded by vast natural lakes, several smaller impoundments and playa lakes in the area offer surprisingly decent largemouth bass fishing. These are often overlooked, making them less pressured than larger, more well-known destinations. Spring and fall are the best times to target bass, as water temperatures are more moderate. In the heat of summer, focus on fishing early and late in the day. Use lures that mimic the local forage, such as crawfish or shad imitations. A local tip: many of these lakes are shallow and prone to drying up during drought conditions, so check water levels before you head out. Also, wind can be a significant factor on the open plains, so be prepared for windy conditions. While the bass may not be trophy-sized, the chance to catch fish in a relatively uncrowded environment makes for a pleasant fishing experience.
