APACHE LAKE Lake elevation is 1,907 feet (92 percent full).
BARTLETT LAKE Lake elevation is 1,780 feet (75 percent full). No report.
CANYON LAKE Lake elevation is 1,658 feet (97 percent full). If you have been fishing here, send in your report to BFishing@azgfd.gov.
LAKE PLEASANT - Lake level is at 1,678 feet, 74 percent full, with approximately 8,160 surface acres. With the water level up there from the rain and snow melts, folks at one of the marinas gave this advice. fish the shallows, 3-6 feet using yellow or orange crank bait Eric E. caught a monster stripper at Lake Pleasant this past week.
ROOSEVELT LAKE - Lake elevation is 2,100 feet 47 percent full). Try fishing in the shallows (1 to 4 feet) with surface lures in the backs of coves and over rock piles. Drop shot works pretty well on the outside points, flats and backs of coves in 30 to 10 feet of water but altering the drop shot technique to a Texas nose hook and whacky style setup is productive especially when the typical setup does not hit the mark. The technique of how you reel the drop shot in is real important. Slow and steady or slow with little jerks or jerk and let it fall over and over again are some styles to play around with. Rock piles are typically productive using plastics bouncing along the substrate. Word is that crappie have been hitting and lots of people have been having a lot of success.
SAGUARO LAKE Lake elevation is 1,526 feet (94 percent full). Anglers are having better luck using spoons along the ledges close to drop offs. Let the spoon drop then bounce it along the bottom. Bass are feeding heavily on shad, so if you find them in action, topwater would work. back...
