Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing at Mormon Lake is heavily influenced by stocking efforts, as the lake's conditions aren't naturally conducive to trout survival year-round. The Arizona Game and Fish Department typically stocks the lake in the cooler months, making fall and winter the prime times to target rainbows. Focus your efforts near the stocking locations or areas with submerged structure. PowerBait, small spinners, and flies can all be effective. Because Mormon Lake is shallow, trout often seek cooler water near the bottom, so adjust your presentation accordingly. The trout here tend to be relatively small, but they can provide some fun action, especially for beginner anglers. Be sure to check the AZGFD stocking schedule before you go to maximize your chances of success. Shore access is readily available, making it a great spot for a quick fishing trip.
