A clear night sky over the water, with light air out of the SE and the barometer holding steady. Start the search at Little White Cone Lake along any hard bottom among the soft. The day holds up well from night into morning. Work the productive water thoroughly. Autumn fish are feeding up and less fussy than in summer.

Little White Cone Lake is listed under San Juan County, New Mexico. The bank gives way to farm and woodlot. It runs to roughly 32 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The closest town, Navajo, is 16 miles distant. Further out sit Tsaile (17 miles) and Lukachukai (23 miles). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. San Juan County records list flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, channel catfish, common carp and largemouth bass among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Little White Cone Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.
Seasonal averages run from 25°F in January up to 66°F in July. Some winters cap it and some do not. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Anyone fishing Little White Cone Lake regularly works to that calendar.
Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Berland Lake, 5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Little White Cone Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
