As mentioned in the second article from the top in this newsletter, Frances Short Pond has been refilled, thanks to the City of Flagstaff, and is being stocked with rainbow trout this week. The City of Flagstaff has worked tirelessly to remove literally tons of ash, debris, and sediment from the pond. The city has repaired and installed a new aeration system that not only runs on solar power, but is also hooked up to main electrical power. Fishing has been good using flies (#12 Prince Nypmhs and #10 Simi-seal Leeches) and lures (1/8-ounce Panther Martins and Kastmasters). The limit is 2 bass minimum size 13 inches, the limit is 4 channel catfish, the limit is 5 sunfish, the limit is 4 trout. Surface temperature 46.5 F, pH 7.75, D.O. 7.2, Secchi Depth 1 M (3.28 ft) on 11/6/2023.
