Knoll Lake -  Knoll lake is currently fishless following AZGFD's efforts to remove illegally stocked green sunfish. The department plans to restock Knoll Lake in the spring of 2026. The illegal stocking of unwanted fish diminishes the quality of our fisheries, costs the department time and money, and in some cases restricts public access to fisheries while removal efforts are being conducted. If you see anyone illegally stocking fish into any of the state's fisheries, please contact the Operation Game Thief Hotline at 1-800-352-0700. Only boats with a single electric motor are allowed on Knoll Lake. The lake level is low and the boat launch is out of the water, making launching a boat difficult. No gas-powered motors. Reminder, the statewide limit is 4 trout per licensed angler per day. The campground is closed for the winter season. Ice is beginning to form in the mornings at the lake's edge.
