Excerpts From Mid-November AZGFD Report

Trout Stockings Have Begun At Community Waters

 

December 1, 2016



Tip Of The Week

All active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Arizona, along with their spouses, may purchase resident hunting and fishing licenses.

The Reel Deal

Grab a license online, 24/7 (and help conserve all species of wildlife).

There are only a few weeks left before winter conditions prevail in the high country, so if you're looking for scents of pine, scenes of eagles and tight lines from trout, go now.

The trout bite is hot at spots such as Dogtown, Kinnikinick, Reservation, and Willow Springs lakes.

Ready to catch the elusive tiger trout? They have been biting, rising to the surface in shallow water at Willow Springs Lake for dry flies.

Speaking of trout, the first winter trout stockings have come to Community fishing waters. Oak Creek and Saguaro Lake have been stocked with trout.
