: LAKE MARY: LOWER LAKE MARY: The day use area is closed for the winter season. The lake was completely thawed out on 2/25/2024, but colder temperatures and precipitation is in the forecast for early this week. Reminder the daily bag limit is 4 trout per day and 4 Channel Catfish per day. Northern Pike are unlimited, but must be immediately killed or released. Only boats with a single 10 horsepower motor or a single electric motor or less are allowed on Lower Lake Mary. Fishing has been excellent for Rainbow Trout. Small lures (inline spinners such as Joes flies), flies (#10 bead head Simi-seal leech in black and olive, and #12 prince nymph), and bait are all working well. Northern Pike have been active especially in the afternoons as the lake warms. UPPER LAKE MARY: Statewide limits apply for the fish species in Upper Lake Mary, check your regulations (page 6). Upper Lake Mary is likely to be mostly thawed this week. Walleye and Northern Pike may be starting to stage at the inflows into the lake. The Newman Canyon inflow has been pulsing in water during the afternoon from snow melt. Inflow areas are good places to target Northern Pike and Walleye in the spring as they congregate to spawn. Newman Canyon peaked at 0.1 cfs on 2/24/2024 @ 4:30 p.m. with a recent reading of 0.02 cfs on 2/26/2024 @ 8:00 a.m. Reported by: Arizona F& G |

| About: -
Upper Lake Mary near Flagstaff is a high country lake with
lots of fishing variety. It has walleye, northern pike, crappie, yellow perch
and channel catfish. For walleye, try trolling silver and black colored Rapalas,
especially in the evening.
Many anglers like to fish for perch and crappie simultaneously in summer. A good bait for such combination fishing is mealworms. Also try a green and white mini jig about 2 or 3 feet under a bobber. In the spring, some anglers were catching channel catfish up to 6 and 7 pounds. Summer nights are just made for catfishing along Lake Mary's shoreline and sometimes watching shooting stars reflected on the water. If you have a two-pole stamp, set up one rod with scented bait for catfish and the other with a night crawler to attract any marauding walleye, perch, crappie or largemouth. Using water dogs is a good bet because you might even land a large pike or bass. There are no boat motor size restrictions here. It is nice to camp in the pines, have Flagstaff amenities close by, and fish for warm-water species. There are also plenty of trout fishing places nearby, including Lower Lake Mary. |
