Ol Bobbers & Worms, killed it @ Nelsons

Recommended Posts

 

Good ol' Nelson's. Heard there is no limit on trout there anymore? Trying to get all the fish out of it to put some stupid minnow in there? Anyone know if that's true? Used to fish that lake a LOT as a kid. Caught some big trout out of it

From September 1st thru March 31st there is no limit on rainbow and brown trout, it's the same at blue ridge and knoll. 6 trout limit from April 1st to August 31st. Fairly sure AZGFD will continue to stock Nelson in the spring as soon as the lake quits spilling.

Thanks guys!

Yea I think I remember hearing that as well about the no limit. Back in early 2000 they discovered that the endangered Little Colorado Spine Daze minnow was actually in the creek below. They stopped stocking the lake fearing the trout would prey on them when it was spilling over having the trout making thier way into the creek. I remember as a kid fishing below the dam and catching a fair amount of fish. So I guess they won't stock it until it stops spilling over.

Awesome post and thanks for sharing pictures! It was a great inspiration, I can't wait for my girls to get a bit older to take them out.
