April 22nd Main Lake Water Temp. upper 50s
The Lake elevation is 3785.69
Storage is 186,200 acre ft.
The Main Lake is clear
Walleye are still good. Various techniques are working. Trolling with Flicker Shad has been working well. Casting Gulp Minnows as well as drop shotting with various soft plastics or live minnows is another good approach. The Canadian River from Horseshoe Bend to Romero Canyon is still a good area. They are also showing up now on the lower part of the lake.
White Bass are good. Most of the reports are from folks trolling with Wally Divers, Bandits, or Flicker Shad. Horseshoe Bend to Watson Island as been one good area.
Bass, the bite is getting better every week. They are moving into shallower water and I had some good reports from last weekend. Jerk Baits and Swim Baits were working well. Berkley Generals are also doing well when fished around cover.
Hereford Bass Club is hosting an open tournament this coming Sunday, April 27th, from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM. You can enter here at Ruf-Nec Tackle early or you can enter Sunday morning at the Marina parking lot before 6:30 Sunday morning.
Crappie are still slow. The water hasn't warmed enough for them to move up yet.
Catfish are starting to improve. Nightcrawlers and Chicken Liver seem to the best choices right now.
Be sure and check the changes in the day use pass and camping fees for N M State Parks.
Until Next Week,
TIGHT LINES, GOOD FISHING, AND "MAKE 'EM BITE"!
