That one’s huge! Whoa, that’s a monster! That one has my name on it!” These were just a few of the many excited comments heard by Urban Fishing biologists as the extra-large incentive trout were delivered to 20 of the Urban Fishing Program lakes on January 9. The special loads of bigger fish and more fish captured the attention of anglers and other park visitors and sent them scrambling for their cameras, cell phones and poles. None of the many 2 to 8 pound beauties have been officially reported for Big Fish honors yet. But, two reports have come in about huge trout from Peoria and Surprise. On January 10 an estimated 8 pounder was caught from Rio Vista Lake and the same day a 6.5 pounder was reeled in from Surprise Lake. No word yet on the 10 pounder our Colorado fish supplier promised. 2008 URBAN FISHING BIG FISH RECORD WINNERS Topping the list of 2008 Urban Program Big Fish-of-the-Year official winners was a 10.2 pound channel catfish caught and kept by Shay Denniston from Lakeside Lake in Tucson. Another huge catch from the Catch and Release category was a 35-inch white amur cranked in by Andrew Schmidt at Red Mountain Lake in Mesa.

Quagga Mussel Risk Analysis for Arizona
Quagga Mussel Risk Analysis for Arizona Name Quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) Description Quaggas are small freshwater bivalve mollusk, reaching sizes up to 4 centimeters. The quagga mussel has a rounded angle between the ventral and dorsal surfaces. (Benson, et al) Color patterns vary widely with black, cream or white bands, but can vary to the point of having only dark or light colored shells and no stripes. They are typically found attached to objects, surfaces or each other by byssal threads originating underneath the shells. Life History There are five stages in the life cycle of a quagga mussel. The first three stages are microscopic (egg, veliger, post-veliger) where they remain suspended in the water column for up to four weeks and can easily pass through filters and strainers. As the shell is developed they drop out of the water column (settling stage) and attach to both hard and soft surfaces. Adults have a tendency to aggregate and form massive colonies and can live for 3 to 5 years. Reproductive Strategy Quaggas have separate sexes with an equal ratio of male to female and become sexually mature when the reach 8 to 10 mm in length. Quaggas can produce up to 40,000 eggs per breeding cycle, with multiple breeding cycles every year and could produce up to one million eggs in a year. Environmental Tolerances and Restrictions Quagga mussels can survive and reproduce in a wide range of habitats and environmental conditions. The great diversity of Arizona’s habitats and water chemistries will result in different rates of invasion or establishment in some waters.
