Pena Blanca Lake Bass Fishing Report 06/03/07

[ArizonaJeff]

The water levels are starting to drop. There is a sediment build-up around the boat ramp that makes access difficult.  Anglers should be advised that there is a large drop-off opposite the cattails on the boat ramp.  Anglers should be very cautious and not let their trailers get off this side of the ramp. Use caution when launching your boat.

Despite this the bass fishing has been fairly good. Recent surveys show good numbers of bass with several 6- and 7-pound bass.  There are still bass that haven't spawned yet.  The bass fishing in Pena Blanca Lake is challenging due to the clarity of the water. 

Remember, powerboats on Pena Blanca Lake are restricted to the use of a single electric motor only.  The mercury advisory for all warm water fish is in effect. Bass less than 13 inches long must be immediately released.  The daily bag limit for bass is four.  Also, be advised that Pena Blanca is not an urban lake; therefore an urban fishing license is invalid to fish at this lake.  Users of power boats must also remember the requirement to have personal flotation devices in good condition for all occupants of the boat
