Just 5 miles north of T or C, New Mexico's largest artificial lake (60 sq miles) is much loved by local anglers, waterskiers and windsurfers. The marina rents tackle and boats (for fishing, pontoon and skiing). Spring and fall are best for fishing; guides for one to four anglers cost around $225 to $350 per day; contact Fishing Adventures to make sure you take home your fill of striped bass.
