Largemouth Bass
The largemouth bass fishing around Roy, New Mexico, presents a unique challenge and opportunity. The region's scattered reservoirs and stock ponds can hold some decent bass, but locating them requires some legwork. Focus your efforts on bodies of water with established vegetation or submerged structure, as these provide ideal habitat for largemouth. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times of year, as the water temperatures are more favorable. During the warmer summer months, fish early in the morning or late in the evening. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective, depending on the conditions. A practical tip: water levels in these reservoirs can vary greatly, so check recent reports before you go. Also, be prepared for windy conditions, which can make boat control difficult. A smaller boat or kayak can be advantageous for accessing some of the more remote areas.
