Fish Report for 12-22-2023

Blue Ridge Campground is closed for the winter season

12-22-2023
Arizona Game & Fish Department

Blue Ridge Campground is closed for the winter season. Due to large logs at the end of the boat launch, launching a trailered boat is not possible at this time. Only boats with a single 10-horsepower (or less) motor or a single electric motor are allowed on C.C. Cragin Reservoir. Green sunfish are unlimited and invasive, please remove them if caught. This is a good time of year to troll small lures (1/12 to 1/4-ounce) like inline spinners and spoons in gold, silver, and copper for rainbow trout. Reservoir elevation was at 6,688.46 feet, current volume was at 8,003 acre feet or 53% full and dropping on 12/18/2023.
