It's a tough lake if you are looking for quantity. Check the AZGFD Stocking Schedule to see if it even is getting stocked.

And bought a ton of crawdad traps. I figure any lake up there will have those in mass quantity.

Yes do that please .... its fun to catch them with hot dogs on a stick and string (fishing line).  We caught over 100 last time and had a boil , it was a blast.

If you plan on leaving them unattended as per AZGFD Regs;

 

Any unattended traps or devices used
to catch or hold aquatic wildlife or fish

must have attached water resistant
identification legibly bearing the name,
address, and fishing license number of
the person using the device.

I can tell you on Sunday that it was pretty bare. We had 1/4 of the lake to ourselves.

And mackerel works absolute wonders in crawdad traps.

About 100 for 4 traps over 4 hours.

And two trout 😃 Well, used a pole for those.

It's too far back for most of the lake lice. They'll all stop at Woods Canyon or Bear Canyon.

Knoll was pretty dead when I went a few weeks ago. It was also too windy to fish so that might have had something to do with it. I usually have never had an issue fi ding a good spot there away from people.

Wind was insane! Had to find an inlet and use the trees as a breaker.
