Reservoir Number One, Arizona: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Reservoir Number One sits within Coconino County in Arizona. It lies 7,067 feet above sea level. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Coconino County are larger. Parks is the closest town at 7 miles. After that come Flagstaff at 11 miles and Kachina Village at 12 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Number One

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Open biodiversity records for Coconino County list brown trout, common carp and flannelmouth sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Reservoir Number One the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 65°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Some winters cap it and some do not. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Reservoir Number One.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Reservoir Number Two, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Reservoir Number One.
