Welcome to Elephant Butte Lake, NM
Fishing Paradise of the Southwest
Elephant Butte lake, located 7 miles north
of
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico is a high desert
reservoir, elevation 4,700 ft., which was formed by
damming the Rio Grande River in 1916. At normal
pool the lake is 43 miles long and holds 36,500 surface
acres of water.
Elephant Butte Lake was first stocked with
Striped Bass in 1974. The current lake record is 54 lbs. 8 oz.
This monster was caught on April 1, 1992. For the first
six months of 1992 there were SIX stripers caught that
were 50 lbs or larger with untold numbers of Stripers from
30 to 50 lbs. No other lake in the country can boast of this
quality. It's very probable that the next World Record Striper
will come from this reservoir.
During the month of January-97 two over 50 lbs. Stripers
were caught.
If you really want a "TROPHY" this is the place!
Elephant Butte is truly the home of the
"MUY GRANDE STRIPER!!!!!"
