Bartlett Lake Bass Fishing Report 06/03/07

[ArizonaJeff]

Lake level is at 1,750 feet (39-percent full).  Good news here.  All warmwater sportfish species are doing well.  Bass fishing is fantastic.  We had some of the highest catch rates many of us biologists have ever seen electrofishing last week.  We caught and netted over 60 largemouth bass in 250 meters of shoreline at one site.  Bass averaged 1- 2/12 pounds.  We found largemouth bass of this size all over the lake. Crawdad imitations and worming rigs (drop shots and Texas-rigs) are producing. Remember, the live bait most come from the lake itself (excluding minnows, water dogs or worms) not transported from another body of water!
