White Bass
If you're looking for white bass near Los Lunas, New Mexico, your primary target will be the Rio Grande. While not a renowned white bass fishery, the Rio Grande does offer opportunities, especially during their spring spawning runs. Focus your efforts during the months of March through May as the water warms and the white bass move upstream to spawn. They tend to congregate near shallow riffles and areas with current. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to target areas below dams or other obstructions, as these often concentrate the fish. Access to the river can be found at various points along Highway 47. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can impact fishing success. While you might not find trophy-sized white bass here, the Rio Grande can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience, especially during the spring run.
