CatfishKev Report post Posted June 28, 2019 Thinking about taking the wife up this weekend. Never been there before. Anyone having any info on current conditions right now? Is it full and are the fish biting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted June 28, 2019 I would call the ranger district office or G&F to see how full it is. I have never fished it but it should be getting stocked monthly until September. This is last years stocking report. https://s3.amazonaws.com/azgfd-portal-wordpress/azgfd.wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/14104708/Spring-_Summer-Fish-Stocking3-09-2018.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted June 28, 2019 Water quality varies from year to year, in 2016 it was bad so G&F didn't stock it which might also be why it wasn't planned to be stocked this summer, but that can change. Here is the 2019 Stocking Schedule. https://azgfd-portal-wordpress-pantheon.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/archive/1.3-Summer-Spring-Stocking-Calendar_-April22.pdf Safford Ranger District 711 14th Avenue, Suite D Safford, AZ 85546 (928) 428-4150 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted July 1, 2019 Nice job dude. We went up to do a side by side with meopta, slc, and els with member hatchet jack. The bigger reason was he has a pair of duel spotter big eyes he graciously let me molest. While glassing we saw the storms and dust blowing and decided camping up top wasn't the best idea! I read you can catch browns up there, how often does that happen? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

654321 Report post Posted July 2, 2019 Rumor has it Riggs Flat Lake has been stocked twice this year with a little over 10,000 rainbow trout and will hopefully get some more trout in August and September if water quality is good, but if you want to know for sure what is going on try calling the AZGFD hatchery that actually stocks that lake.

1uofacat Report post Posted August 1, 2019 Riggs Flat Lake... it's been quite a while since I was there, but the fishing was absolutely awesome as I recall, and actually got better (if you can believe that) the following day when the G&F backed up and stocked it! That sure was fun... but it also happened when I was just a kid about 1966! (I'm getting old... haha). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
