Fishing
While the Cibola National Forest is not known for its water recreation, fishing can be particularly popular in the many Grassland lakes. Please follow all laws and regulations and know what kind of fishing is allowed near you. Be courteous to others.
Learn about fishing in New Mexico from the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF).
