Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in the Milan, New Mexico area, your best bet is to explore the network of smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered throughout the region. While not known for trophy bass, these waters offer consistent action and a chance to hone your skills. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation and structure. A local tip: many of these lakes are relatively shallow, so weedless rigs and topwater lures can be extremely effective. Access can be limited in some areas, so be sure to scout out access points beforehand. Smaller spinnerbaits and crankbaits can also be productive when the bass are actively feeding. The bass population here tends to be healthy, with a good mix of sizes, though patience is key to finding the bigger fish.
