Laguna Jacquez is a reservoir in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 1.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.2 acre-feet.
The small size of Laguna Jacquez makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Laguna Jacquez, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

How to Read the Water
To narrow down Laguna Jacquez, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
On Laguna Jacquez, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Use this plain plan on Laguna Jacquez: a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
A direct approach on Laguna Jacquez works like this: 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.
