AZ stocks Florida-strain largemouth bass
AZ stocks Florida-strain largemouth bass
AZGFD staff, with assistance from BigFishBullies, FishIn48 and United Arizona Anglers Foundation (UAAF), stocked 12,000 Florida-strain bass fry into Saguaro Lake. The fry were spawned and raised by staff at Bubbling Ponds Hatchery.
The fry were taken out to different parts of the lake where there was good fish habit. The hatchery is working on improvements and additions that will allow staff to more efficiently spawn, hatch, feed and grow this species "in-house" for the waters of Arizona.

This isn’t the initial FLMB stocking program in Salt River lakes. Canyon lake was stocked in the early 1980’s.
Restocking assures healthy vigor of the FLMB strain, something California has failed to do.

If it's not planting trout California is not interested.
