Fishing Tobenayoli Pond in Navajo County, Arizona

• Overview

  Tobenayoli Pond is one of the Navajo County waters in Arizona. The water sits 5,276 feet up. Roughly 66 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Around 1.0 miles of margin, front to back. Head to Dilkon, 17 miles away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, First Mesa at 25 miles and Winslow at 34 miles. Other water within reach: To Kla Daa Aakee Pond 26 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Tobenayoli Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Navajo County include green sunfish, bluehead sucker and channel catfish. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Tobenayoli Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 33°F in January and 77°F in July. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Tobenayoli Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. To Kla Daa Aakee Pond at 26 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Tobenayoli Pond is worth confirming on the day.
