Anyone 12 or older needs a New Mexico fishing licence — the resident annual is about $25, the non-resident annual about $56, with 1-day (~$12) and 5-day (~$24) options. A Habitat Management & Access Validation (about $4) is also required, and a free Harvest Information Program (HIP) validation for migratory-bird-water anglers. New Mexico residents 70 and older, and anglers under 12, fish free. Buy from NMDGF at wildlife.dgf.nm.gov. A New Mexico fishing licence plus the Habitat Management & Access Validation covers this water — it carries a published NMDGF fishery management plan.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
