About: -
Elephant Butte Reservoir, has more than 200 miles of
shoreline. The lake has an hourglass shape with big upper and lower sections 
connected by a four-mile stretch of the Rio Grande named The Narrows. The Butte
is a very popular tributary for tournament bass fisherman. As recently as 2001 a
52 lb striper was caught, but that still shy a couple pounds of the lake and
state record. (more on Elephant Butte)
