Fish species in A One Lake

A One Lake in Apache County is a reservoir in Arizona and covers about 19 acres, reaches about 22.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 181.2 acre-feet.

One weed edge or lower pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for A One Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.

A useful black crappie plan on A One Lake is to fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.

To begin with bluegill on this water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

While looking for largemouth bass on this water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

Start the channel catfish search on this water by trying to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

While fishing A One Lake, other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

How to Read the Water

Here, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

The first look at A One Lake should cover this: in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Keep the first check on A One Lake simple: a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

For the next pass on A One Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.

A One Lake FAQs

What is a simple way to start fishing for black crappie at A One Lake?

Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.

What does the 22.1 feet deepest point mean when fishing A One Lake?

Treat 22.1 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and shift deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.

What is the best reason to change spots at A One Lake?

Before moving far on A One Lake, move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite.
