Frances Short Pond has been refilled, thanks to the City of Flagstaff, and rainbow trout were stocked last month. 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 Nymphs 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.
