The latest rainbow trout stocking was Sept. 6. Rainbow trout and Gila trout were also stocked before the First Fish Fishing Event on June 4 and again on June 20. Rob reports that the fish are actively surface feeding but are not taking what he throws out. Try several colors of power bait and power eggs and if you don’t get bites try night crawlers or small spinners. They are a great option if you are not getting bites with other baits.

If you fish Goldwater and are having luck, please e-mail me at gcummins@azgfd.gov so I can share your successes with others.
