Fishing in Coconino County, Arizona

What this local map set contains

The Coconino County directory currently covers 12 lakes or reservoirs, 4 rivers. 1 chart uses measured bathymetry from a published source; 15 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 5 to 80 ft, with a median of 27 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 16 of 16 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Rainbow Trout (14), Brown Trout (9), Channel Catfish (6), Bluegill (5) and Crappie (5). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

1. Upper Lake Mary: 39 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 7 cataloged target species.
2. Lower Lake Mary: 27 ft maximum; modeled contours; 8 cataloged target species.
3. Cataract Lake: 25 ft maximum; modeled contours; 6 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
