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.

  • The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016
    The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016 After living in Arizona for many years, I only recently discovered the pleasure of kayaking and tubing. So far, I have been on the river below Saguaro Lake, on Saguaro Lake, and on Canyon Lake; the other two lakes created in the Salt River, Apache and Roosevelt Lakes, (hopefully) remain to be explored. The Rio Salado, or Salt River, was dammed between the early 1900s and 1930s to provide water and electricity to the Phoenix area, and later served recreational needs. The first dam to be constructed was Roosevelt so my description goes from the `younger’ to the `older’ lakes. Some of my information on the river comes from here. The Four Lakes of the Salt River, from left to right: Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt The Salt River flows into the Gila River to the West of Phoenix and the Gila contributes to the Colorado, near Yuma, in the Southwest of Arizona. This river is supposed to end in the Gulf of California but rarely has enough water (see here). The ecological impact of dams has been huge. Edward Abbey and others are famous for having suggested Monkey Wrenches to sabotage the plans for the dams in the West. There is always talk of restoring the natural flow in the river; see here. Apart from the ecological impact on bird populations, salinization, and silting, the politics behind dams is ugly. The 1972 Damming the West details the lobbying of the Bureau of Reclamation to keep new projects going even though there was no (agricultural) need for them.

    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE STEWART MOUNTAIN QUADRANGLE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZO~A by Steven J. Skotnicki and Robert S. Leighty Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-12 July, 1997 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Includes 19 page text and 1:24,000 scale geologic map Partially funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program Contract # 1434-HQ-96-AG-01474. This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION This map depicts both the bedrock geology and the general ages and distribution of Late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits and geomorphic surfaces in the Stewart Mountain quadrangle (see Figure 1). The Salt River, re-emerging from Saguaro Lake, slices through the middle of the study area where it separates granite pediment and felsic volcanic rocks of the Usery and Goldfield Mountains (respectively) to the south, from a vast expanse of Late Tertiary basin-fill sediments to the north. Mapping of the surficial deposits was based both on field observations and interpretation of color 1:30,000-scale aerial photographs (dated 6-12-88), obtained from the Tonto National Forest in Phoenix. All of the region is administered by the Tonto National Forest. Good access to the region is provided by State Route 87, the Bush Highway, and Usery Pass Road (see Figure 2). A primitive road provides access to Bulldog Canyon, but locked gates at both ends can only be opened by obtaining a pennit from the Tonto National Forest Service field office 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.

  • Lake Pleasant, Two Central Arizona Reservoirs
    The Ecology of the Plankton Communities of Two Desert Reservoirs by Tyler R Sawyer A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved July 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Susanne Neuer, Chair Daniel L. Childers Milton Sommerfeld ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2011 ABSTRACT In 2010, a monthly sampling regimen was established to examine ecological differences in Saguaro Lake and Lake Pleasant, two Central Arizona reservoirs. Lake Pleasant is relatively deep and clear, while Saguaro Lake is relatively shallow and turbid. Preliminary results indicated that phytoplankton biomass was greater by an order of magnitude in Saguaro Lake, and that community structure differed. The purpose of this investigation was to determine why the reservoirs are different, and focused on physical characteristics of the water column, nutrient concentration, community structure of phytoplankton and zooplankton, and trophic cascades induced by fish populations. I formulated the following hypotheses: 1) Top-down control varies between the two reservoirs. The presence of piscivore fish in Lake Pleasant results in high grazer and low primary producer biomass through trophic cascades. Conversely, Saguaro Lake is controlled from the bottom-up. This hypothesis was tested through monthly analysis of zooplankton and phytoplankton communities in each reservoir. Analyses of the nutritional value of phytoplankton and DNA based molecular prey preference of zooplankton provided insight on trophic interactions between phytoplankton and zooplankton. Data from the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) provided information on the fish communities of the two reservoirs. 2) Nutrient loads differ for each reservoir. Greater nutrient concentrations yield greater primary producer biomass; I hypothesize that Saguaro Lake is more eutrophic, while Lake Pleasant is more oligotrophic.

    Arizona Department FACT SHEET of Environmental Quality Publication Number: FS 16 -15 Ambient Groundwater Quality of the Salt River Basin: A 2001-2015 Baseline Study – June 2016 Introduction The Arizona Department of Environmen- tal Quality (ADEQ) Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Program conducted a baseline study to characterize the groundwater quality of the Salt River basin from 2001 to 2015. ADEQ carried out this task under Arizona Revised Statutes §49-225 that mandates monitoring of waters of the state including its aquifers. The fact sheet is a synopsis of the ADEQ Open-File Re- port 16-01.1 Groundwater in the Salt River basin is generally suitable for drinking water uses based on the sampling results from this study. The Salt River basin comprises 5,232 square miles within east-central Arizona and includes portions of Apache, Gila, Greenlee, Maricopa, and Navajo coun- ties. The basin extends from the White Figure 1 - Map of the Salt River Basin Mountains located near the New Mexico *This map is for general reference only and may not be all inclusive.
