You'll need to head towards reservoirs further west, such as those along the I-25 corridor. These reservoirs offer the best chance to find spotted bass populations in New Mexico. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are ideal for their activity. Look for rocky points, submerged timber, and areas near the dam.
