Enchanted Lake is a lake in Mora County, New Mexico, and covers about 2.5 acres, reaches about 4.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5.7 acre-feet.
Enchanted Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Enchanted Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Enchanted Lake include Cutthroat Trout.
To narrow down Enchanted Lake, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During the first hour on Enchanted Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
The plan for Enchanted Lake starts here: a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
While fishing Enchanted 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.
