What types of fish are in the urban lakes?
The Arizona Game and Fish Department stocks catchable rainbow trout during the winter (November to March) and channel catfish in the summer (March to November). Hybrid sunfish are stocked three times per year. Bluegill and other sunfish species are common, and occasional catches of largemouth bass are reported. Additional fish species, such as amur, redear sunfish, crappie and carp, are also found in some urban lakes.
