ARIZONA LAKE FISHING REPORTS
Fishing report for below listed lakes. On the dates May 12th, 13th and 14th we had Red Flag warnings with winds exceeding 50 mph. The following report is for the following 4 days.
LAKE PLEASANT
Water temperature mid 70’s. A good top water bite at first light. Everyone is anticipating the opening of the Agua Fria river on June 15th, which has been closed since December 15th. You may have to take a number, as it falls on Fathers Day.
BARTLETT LAKE
Water temperature 75 degrees , lots of small bass. The lake has been coming up, but they are releasing it now. Cranks, swim baits, drop shot and Texas rig in 15 to 20 feet of water.
ROOSEVELT LAKE
Water temperature in the mid 70’s. Top water early, deep cranks, jigs, 10″ worms in 20 to 30 feet of water, with nice bass being caught. If you can handle throwing large swim baits, a double-digit bass can be the ticket. Several 10 pound plus bass have been caught in the past 2 months. With a full moon approaching, night fishing will be getting underway. Beat the heat.
HORSE LAKE
APACHE LAKE
Water temperature in the mid 70’s. Early top water bite, crank baits, Texas rig creature baits, swim baits, and drop shot working well. They are releasing water out of Roosevelt Lake, which is adding nutrients into the lake.
ALAMO LAKE
Water temperature in the 70’s. Some crappie biting, bass fishing is still going strong. Early top water bite, creature baits, drop shots, shad colored cranks, working well.
