Morrison Lake is a lake in Mora County, New Mexico, and covers about 18.5 acres, reaches about 8.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 91.8 acre-feet.

Fish listed for Morrison Lake include Green Sunfish.
A useful start on Morrison Lake is simple: make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
The first look at Morrison Lake should cover this: 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.
Before moving far on Morrison 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.
For the next pass on Morrison 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.
