Goldwater Lake (Upper) - With the water beginning to cool off in Prescott, the trout bite should be picking up soon. Anglers targeting trout typically do well with PowerBait, Power Eggs, or small inline spinners. Those targeting channel catfish may find success with nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or anchovies. Upper Goldwater was last stocked with channel catfish the week of Aug. 22 and with rainbow trout the week of Sept. 29 and again the week of Oct. 20. Special Regulations: The limit is 1 bass; minimum of 13 inches. Single electric motor only. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.

Goldwater Lake (Lower) - Artificial Fly and Lure Only. Similar to the upper lake, the trout fishing is picking up with these lower temperatures. Trout anglers typically do well on inline spinners like Panther Martins or Mepps. Largemouth bass can still be caught as the water temperatures cool, but anglers may want to use smaller and slower moving presentations as the fish slow down before the winter months. Lower Goldwater Lake was last stocked with Gila trout the week of Oct. 6 and with rainbow trout the week of Oct. 20. Special Regulations: Catch and release only, artificial flies and lures only. Float tube only watercraft restriction. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
