Boyer Lake is a reservoir in New Mexico, near Rio Arriba County.
Boyer Lake is a reservoir in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, and covers about 3.2 acres, reaches about 4.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 8.2 acre-feet.
Boyer Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Boyer Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Boyer Lake include Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Boyer Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
On Boyer Lake, begin where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clean water and stained water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Keep the first check on Boyer Lake simple: spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
To begin fishing Boyer Lake, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few light spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the first hour on Boyer Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
