Field Dam Fishing Guide, Coconino County, Arizona

• Overview

  Field Dam is a Coconino County water, in Arizona. It lies 6,201 feet above sea level. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it.

It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Field Dam

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Coconino County: brown trout, common carp, flannelmouth sucker and bluehead sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Field Dam gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 70°F at the top of summer and 32°F at the bottom of winter. The season stretches long at both ends here. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Anyone fishing Field Dam regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Stone Lake, 4.2 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Field Dam for certain.
