Greene Lake Fishing Guide, Curry County, New Mexico

• Overview

  Greene Lake lies in Curry County, in New Mexico. Dry hill runs right down to the water. It covers about 11 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. For a base, Clovis sits 0.9 miles out. Beyond it, Cannon Air Force Base at 6.8 miles and Texico at 9.1 miles. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Greene Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Records collected within a few miles name channel catfish and rainbow trout. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. Greene Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 37°F in January to roughly 77°F in July. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Time your trip to Greene Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Salt Lake at 24 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Greene Lake if anything is unclear.
