Arizona- The scheduled date for the first trout delivery of the winter season is Tuesday, November 15 for all lakes in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Trout ranging from 10-12 inches will be stocked at rates of 80-100 fish per lake surface acre for Urban Lakes and at lower rates for Urban Ponds. Fish deliveries will occur throughout the day starting from early morning well into the evening. Trout stockings will continue at two-week intervals throughout the winter. Over 100,000 trout from Colorado have been ordered for delivery to Urban Fishing Program waters this upcoming trout season. With the colder temperatures at Payson's Green Valley Lakes, trout stockings already started in October and will continue every other week for the next six months. Remember, daily bag and possession limits for trout at Urban Lakes are four fish per person for licensed anglers and two fish for unlicensed juveniles under the age of 14. Trout limits at Urban Ponds are two fish for licensed anglers and one fish for youth.
NOTE: Twice each year, the Urban Fishing Program shares with you the specific stocking date. We do this in the fall when we switch from catfish to trout stockings, and again in the spring when we switch back to catfish. For the other stocking dates throughout the year, only the week of stocking is announced to the public (Monday thru Saturday).
