Reservoir Fish Habitat Locations

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is dedicated to helping anglers increase their chances of success with fishing trips. To do this, they are installing various types of habitat structures in reservoirs across the state. These structures can be made from PVC, Christmas trees, wood, and other materials and are designed to attract fish so that anglers can have a greater chance of finding them. By using these structures, the Department is helping anglers to have a more enjoyable and productive experience. Download their locations to your sonar unit now.

Topock Gorge

Topock Gorge is a popular destination for fishermen, often referred to as a miniature version of the Grand Canyon. Its steep cliffs and diverse wildlife make it an attractive spot for those looking to cast their lines. The serenity of the gorge is ideal for fishing, as the no-wake zone keeps the waters still and the temperatures 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the lake. If you’re looking for a great spot to try your luck, this is it!
