Lonetree Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, New Mexico, and covers about 1.2 acres, reaches about 3.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2.2 acre-feet.
Lonetree Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Lonetree Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lonetree Lake include Green Sunfish.
How to Read the Water
The plan for Lonetree Lake starts here: use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
A focused trip to Lonetree Lake begins this way: early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
Before moving far on Lonetree Lake, 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.
Use this plain plan on Lonetree 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.
