About Caballo Lake
Caballo Lake is an 11,500-acre reservoir located just downstream of Elephant Butte on the Rio Grande, offering a quieter alternative to its larger neighbor with equally impressive fishing. The lake is known for its excellent white bass fishing, with large schools chasing shad across the open water from spring through fall. Largemouth bass thrive in the warmer, shallower arms of the reservoir, and walleye provide quality catches along the deeper main channel.
Caballo Lake State Park provides boat ramps and camping facilities along the eastern shore. The reservoir's proximity to Truth or Consequences means anglers can combine fishing with visits to the town's famous hot springs. Crappie congregate around submerged brush piles and inundated vegetation, particularly during spring spawning season. The southern New Mexico climate allows comfortable fishing nearly year-round, and the lake receives significantly less boat traffic than Elephant Butte despite being just 20 miles downstream.
