URBAN FISHING REPORT

Rainbow trout stockings have now started at all Urban Fishing Program waters at two week intervals.  Fishing is good to excellent for anglers using scented dough baits (such as Power Bait), worms or small trout lures.  Trout stockings will continue every two weeks from November to March.  All lakes were stocked the end of October with bluegill and action is good for these feisty fighters.  Try mealworms, corn or doughballs fished below a small bobber for the best action.  Action for catfish and bass has slowed due to colder water temperatures.  Trout fishing is good to excellent at Green Valley lakes in Payson with Power Bait, worms and small spinners working best.
