The lake has been closed since 2012 after the Little Bear fire that devastated that area around the lake and filled it with at least 40 feet of silt and ash. That is a lot of ash/silt - Fenton was filled with silt from a fire right above it (killed all fish), it was a year later and reopened, they can rebound fast. The Fenton dam was reworked and other improvements made, it is a shallow lake so it was also dredged. Has been doing great ever since. The city of Alamagordo owns Bonito lake and I have just heard (Fish and Game) that a few more years to reopen Bonito. Each situation is different. I would have thought it could be opened, but who knows. I have a call into the City with that question. I will let you know what I find out. Let us know how you do fishing. I am heading out in a week. "Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness."
