Largemouth Bass
While Silver City, New Mexico, is better known for its trout streams, you can still find some decent largemouth bass fishing in nearby reservoirs and lakes. Bill Evans Lake and Lake Roberts, both within a short drive, are your best bets. These lakes offer a mix of submerged timber, rocky shorelines, and weed beds, providing ample habitat for bass. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as water temperatures are more favorable. Focus on areas near cover, especially during the warmer months when bass seek shade. A local tip is to try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the midday heat and increase your chances of success. The bass population in these lakes consists of a mix of sizes, with the potential for catching some quality fish. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
