Fishing Q&A

Where is a good place for fishing in New Mexico near albuquerque?

Looking for a place big enough where I can bring my dogs with me and they will not bother the other fisherman. I don't fly fish so reel fishers let me know where the good spots are.

1. Abiquiu Lake is good fishing either on the lake or behind the spillway. Cochiti Lake is closer to Alb and offers great fishing. Here is a link with additional info: http://www.spa.usace.army.mil/recreation/ab/index.htm http://www.spa.usace.army.mil/recreation/cochiti/index.htm This link has a recent fishing report for those lakes and others: http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/recreation/fishing/fishing_report.htm
2. Cochiti lake is sometimes good and its only about 40 min north off I25. Pecos is great and beautiful for fishing. Its stream fishing with brown trout. Lots of places to explore with your dog. That's north of Santa Fe.
