has anyone heard if the whites and crappie are biting at ute lake in n.m.?

I have not heard but when I was a kid my parents had a lake house on Ute Lake. I caught a lot of fish there about 30 years ago.

Good luck if and when you go.

When I lived in Tucumcari Ute and Conchas were the home lakes and I loved them. Caught a lot of bass (large mouth and small mouth)and crappie from both but I haven't fished them in ten years. They are just simply great lakes to fish. I bet you will do well so have a great time there.

we are going there for sping break. we will be there for 8 days or so. hopefully we can catch something.

I fished them both mostly UTE plenty of good walleye and Smallies along with Crappie there was a couple of guys that would come out from Amarillo every year about this time and slaughter the big slabs.

Great Lake full of Walleye and Smallmouth. It's a clear lake visiblity 10' to 15' in summer

bighorns55,

That time of year try the structure up in the Canadian near Horseshoe Bend, Brushy Cove and near Logan Marina Launch is a great structure area called Cedar Point. Across from Logan Marina are two coves that used to do well for me. There is a lot of structure up in Ute Creek. I envy you, you will have a wonderful time.

My inlaws live close to mine canyon so thats where we will put in. Then its just a quick trip across the lake. Thanks for all the help. I will give it a try.

Got an aunt & uncle who live there, I fished it the last several years....maybe a bit early....watch the weather I think its turning bad this weekend. Stop by the Roughneck Tackel shop,good folks and good advice.

thanks for the info
