Fry Lake, Arizona: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Fry Lake lies in Coconino County, in Arizona. The bank is 7,133 feet above sea level. You are 6.6 miles from Kachina Village. Then Mountainaire, 7.8 miles, and Flagstaff, 13 miles. Water in the same corner: Rogers Lake lies 6.2 miles on, Dry Lake just 8.7 miles, Ott Lake lies 8.8 miles on, Reservoir Number One just 11 miles and Reservoir Number Two lies 11 miles on. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Fry Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Coconino County, recorded fish include brown trout, common carp and flannelmouth sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Fry Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 30°F in January and 66°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. It holds true on Fry Lake more years than not. As the season turns, fish follow food rather than temperature alone.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Rogers Lake, 6.2 miles away. Check the current arrangement for Fry Lake.
