: GREER LAKES: Fishing is poor to fair. All three Greer reservoirs were drawn down significantly during the summer irrigation season. It is now the fill season and the lakes will begin to fill slowly during winter. Bunch Reservoir is filling first. Beware of the concrete curb at the end of the boat ramp, because it is just under the water surface. No boats can be launched at River Reservoir because water levels are very low and the concrete curb at the end of the boat ramp is out of the water. Small boats or float tubes and pontoon boats can be launched at Tunnel Reservoir, but the lake is very low. Try worms, corn, salmon eggs, and Power Bait, lures such as spinners, Z-rays, Super Dupers, KastMasters, and Rapalas, and flies such as wooly worms, wooly buggers, Yeager buggers, peacock ladies, and small nymphs in black, brown or green colors. Brown trout spawn in November and should be congregating at the mouth of the Little Colorado River at River Reservoir. Try Rapalas and big streamers in black, green or brown colors. Bunch Reservoir and Tunnel Reservoir are open to electric trolling motors only, and River Reservoir is open to electric trolling motors and up to 10 hp. gas motors. These lakes have easy small boat, float tube, and Kayak fishing access, as well as shore access. Reported by: Arizona F& G |
