The proposed changes are:

  • Propose to change regulations at Freestone Park (Gilbert) and Friendship Park (Avondale) to a limit of two trout, two catfish, one bass (13-inch minimum length) and five sunfish
  • Designate Water Ranch Lake to a single barbless hook requirement for all species and place catch and release regulations on bass and sunfish. 
  • Change regulations for Horton Creek, and Grant Creek to single barbless hook, artificial fly and lure only and catch and release only for trout.
  • Reduce daily bag limits of trout on Chevelon Creek above and below Chevelon Lake as artificial fly and lure only, with reduced bag limits.
  • Modify regulations to a limit of six trout, four catfish and two bass (13-inch minimum length) within the Williams area lakes: Kaibab, Cataract, Dogtown, City, and Santa Fe Reservoirs.
  • Reduce the bag limit to 25 sunfish and crappie, any combination, in the lower Colorado River, including Lake Havasu and Mittry Lake.
  • Maintain the current catch-and-release regulation for largemouth bass in Dankworth Pond and Pena Blanca Lake until Dec. 31, 2016.
