On April 11, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, in partnership with the Kaibab National Forest, deployed approximately 25 juniper trees in the lake as fish habitat to benefit warmwater species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and black crappie. This was that last of the planned sportfish reservoir habitat projects for Region II. We now have added habitat to Kaibab Lake, Dogtown Lake, Whitehorse Lake and Kinnikinick Lake. Green junipers such as these can last for over 100 years if they remain submerged. Only boats with a 10-horsepower motor (or less) or single electric motor are allowed on Cataract Lake. The limit is 2 bass minimum size 13 inches, the limit is 4 channel catfish, the limit is 4 trout. Both the County and Forest Service Day Use Areas are currently open.
