Striped Bass
If you're chasing striped bass in northern New Mexico, Wagon Mound puts you within striking distance of some decent freshwater action. While not a traditional striper hotspot, nearby reservoirs like Conchas Lake and Ute Lake, both within a reasonable drive, offer opportunities. Conchas is known for its fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you go; this can concentrate fish or scatter them. Ute Lake generally has more stable water and a healthier striper population. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers become more active during these cooler periods. Live bait like shad or shiners are effective, but don't overlook topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening. A local tip: Many anglers launch from the north end of Ute Lake to target areas near the Canadian River inflow. Be prepared for windy conditions, especially in the spring.
