nateNAU Report post Posted April 12, 2022 Took the kids, wife and father-in-law out fishing Saturday. We decided to go to Whitehorse, a lake I haven't fished in over 10 years. I didn't know what to expect so I brought rigs for catfish, trout, crappie. Well the large mouth bass were sure hungry. We caught about 5 in the 11" range and I caught this nice 16"er that was almost 3 lbs. These were my first largemouth I've ever caught. On Sunday I took my son out shed hunting here around Flagstaff and we did turn up 1 muley shed. Overall a good weekend outdoors. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd want to organise a trip with my family as well. Suggestions for a three-day excursion to a cool location are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have had decent luck at Dogtown, Whitehorse and kaibab lake. Around Flagstaff you have upper lake Mary and Ashurst. Mary is decent but you will mostly catch pike and I don't know why I keep going to Ashurst. I have caught fish probably 2% of the times I have fished it and I have lived here my whole life and fished it a lot. It's also a good time to take some small hikes around these areas as you might find an elk shed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any spots better than others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there is really better spot than others. I've done well at one end of the lake to the other. I prefer to fish the narrows. In my mind that choke point is good, even if the fish are deep because you can cast almost to the middle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually park at the first pull in as you’re heading north around the lake. I need to hit Kaibab soon. Been awhile since I’ve tried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We only fished a couple of hours due to the wind. We kept enough for a good dinner. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
