Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
Spotted bass are not typically found in the immediate vicinity of Angel Fire, New Mexico, due to the high-altitude, colder waters that are more suited to trout and other cold-water species. The Rio Grande, further to the west and south, might hold some, but even that is not a prime spotted bass location. Anglers specifically targeting spotted bass would need to travel considerably further south and east into Texas or Oklahoma to find suitable habitat. Focus your angling efforts in Angel Fire on trout in the local streams and lakes.
