JD Dam Lake is a reservoir in Arizona, near Coconino County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
JD Dam Lake is a reservoir in Coconino County, Arizona and covers about 23 acres, reaches about 23.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 70 acre-feet.
JD Dam Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for JD Dam Lake include Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass should cast a light spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Brown Trout, and Grass Carp have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
To narrow down JD Dam Lake, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
The plan for JD Dam Lake starts here: shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
When the bite is slow on JD Dam Lake, a light spinning setup, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
When working JD Dam 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.
