New Mexico - Conchas Lake
Thirty-two miles northwest of Tucumcari, Conchas has walleyes, largemouth bass, white bass, bluegills, and crappies on the menu. Although there are more than 60 miles of diverse shoreline to choose from, including rocky points, coves, and beaches, many anglers concentrate on the northern edge. June can be scorching, of course, but that's when some of the best walleye action happens. Fish early in the day, slow-trolling baits at 25 feet or more.
