Fishing News from Arizona This Week
It's winter trout time. With some calm and stable weather, it should be crappie time, too. Fishing for trout in Community waters can be some of the best fishing in the state this time of the year. See the schedule -- "core" waters are scheduled to be stocked again next week.

With this week's storm, expect more skim ice -- and unsafe ice -- to continue forming on high elevation lakes (8,000-plus feet). Consider all ice at this time to be unsafe and not yet ready for ice fishing. Don't forget: Silver Creek is a spring creek that comes out of the ground at a constant temperature and does not freeze during the winter. Catch-and-release fishing for big rainbow trout with artificial lure and flies, with single-point barbless hooks, will continue through the winter. Late fall/early winter fishing is just starting in desert regions. More and more, expect bass to be scattered in many desert lakes, moving into warmer and deeper water. Wintertime bass fishing can mean fishing is hot one day, slow the next. Cover a lot of water and try numerous presentations. On calm nights, night fishing for stripers can be productive at places like Pleasant and Havasu. Don't forget to check out our new Fish & Boat AZ map to plan your next hook-and-line adventure.
