Greer Lakes is a reservoir in Arizona, near Apache County.
Greer Lakes is a reservoir in Apache County, Arizona and covers about 136.9 acres, reaches about 40.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2,405.1 acre-feet.
A useful start on Greer Lakes is simple: a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Greer Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Flathead Catfish, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
For black crappie, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; test a point before fishing a featureless bank; check the first shelf outside shallow cover on this 136.9-acre reservoir.
Targeting bluegill calls for a plan to use a light jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
For largemouth bass, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover; keep the bait above soft bottom; check the first shelf outside shallow cover on this 136.9-acre reservoir.
At Greer Lakes, try this for channel catfish: fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
For a short trip to this water, 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.
The first look at Greer Lakes should cover this: do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
For the next pass on Greer Lakes, 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.
To begin fishing Greer Lakes, 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.
At Greer Lakes, 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.
Test the quiet side before the windy side, then fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; change lure speed before moving.
Treat 40.8 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
Cast across the break instead of along it, then move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; work each small drop before going deeper.
