Anglers are catching largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and rainbow trout out of the Yavapai Lakes. If targeting largemouth bass, small plastics or nightcrawlers would be a good place to start. The "go to" baits for channel catfish are nightcrawlers, cut-up hot dogs, and chicken livers. If targeting bluegill, small plastic jigs or nightcrawlers would be a good starting point. Trout are caught well with PowerBait, PowerEggs, and inline spinners. The last trout stocking of Yavapai Lakes with rainbow trout until the fall was March 16. Special Regulations: The limit is 2 bass: minimum of 13 inches, 4 catfish, 10 sunfish, and 4 trout. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
